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
Perl version, minimizing the upgrade when the major Perl version is changed.
It uses a version dependent directory for modules with compiled bits.

As PERL_ARCH is no longer needed in plists, it has been removed from
PLIST_SUB.

The USE_PERL5=fixpacklist keyword is removed, the .packlist file is now
always removed, as is perllocal.pod.

The old site_perl and site_perl/arch directories have been kept in the
default Perl @INC for all Perl ports, and will be phased out as these old
Perl versions expire.

Cleanup plist

 

12:14 mat 

Remove all the bootstrap files (.bs) from the plists.

Starting with perl 5.20, they're not installed any more if empty,
and on FreeBSD, they're (always ?) empty.

- Add p5-Readonly-XS 1.05

This module corrects the speed problem, at least with respect to scalar
variables. When Readonly::XS is installed, Readonly uses it to access the
internals of scalar variables. Instead of creating a scalar variable object and
tying it, Readonly simply flips the SvREADONLY bit in the scalar's FLAGS
structure.

Readonly arrays and hashes are not sped up by this, since the SvREADONLY flag
only works for scalars. Arrays and hashes always use the tie interface.

Programs that you write do not need to know whether Readonly::XS is installed or
not. They should just "use Readonly" and let Readonly worry about whether or not
it can use XS. If the Readonly::XS is present, Readonly will be faster. If not,
it won't. Either way, it will still work, and your code will not have to change.

Your program can check whether Readonly.pm is using XS or not by examining the
$Readonly::XSokay variable. It will be true if the XS module was found and is
being used. Please do not change this variable.

Add port devel/p5-Readonly-XS:

The Readonly module (q.v.) is an effective way to create non-modifiable
variables. However, it's relatively slow.

The reason it's slow is that is implements the read-only-ness of variables
via tied objects. This mechanism is inherently slow. Perl simply has to do
a lot of work under the hood to make tied variables work.

This module corrects the speed problem, at least with respect to scalar
variables. When Readonly::XS is installed, Readonly uses it to access the
internals of scalar variables. Instead of creating a scalar variable object
and tying it, Readonly simply flips the SvREADONLY bit in the scalar's
FLAGS structure.
