This module is designed to provide an extremely lightweight way to parse
moderately complex configuration files. As such, it exports a single
function - fastconfig() - and does not provide any OO access methods.
Still, it is fairly full-featured.
Here's how it works:
%cf = fastconfig($file, $delim);
Basically, the fastconfig() function returns a hash of keys and values
based on the directives in your configuration file. By default, directives
and values are separated by whitespace in the config file, but this can be
easily changed with the delimiter argument (see below).
When the configuration file is read, its modification time is first
checked and the results cached. On each call to fastconfig(), if the
config file has been changed, then the file is reread. Otherwise, the
cached results are returned automatically. This makes this module great
for mod_perl modules and scripts, one of the primary reasons I wrote it.
Simply include this at the top of your script or inside of your
constructor function:
my %cf = fastconfig('/path/to/config/file.conf');
If the file argument is omitted, then fastconfig() looks for a file named
$0.conf in the ../etc directory relative to the executable. For example,
if you ran:
/usr/local/bin/myapp
Then fastconfig() will automatically look for:
/usr/local/etc/myapp.conf
This is great if you're really lazy and always in a hurry, like I am.
If this doesn't work for you, simply supply a filename manually. Note that
filename generation does not work in mod_perl, so you'll need to supply a
filename manually.
Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18.
Before, we had:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
- Take advantage of CPAN macro from bsd.sites.mk, change
${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} to CPAN.

search.cpan.org redirect reduction canonicalization project, pass 1:
URLs automatically rewritten from /search?dist=Foo or /dist/Foo
to /dist/Foo/ (note trailing slash). After a 2002(!) reorganization,
this is the preferred way to refer to modules on search.cpan.org.
