The Authen::PAAS distribution provides a Perl API for authenticating and
authorizing users of computing services. Its design is inspired by
existing pluggable authentication services such as PAM and Java's JAAS, so
people familiar with those two services should be comfortable with the
concepts in Authen::PAAS. At its heart, Authen::PAAS provides a login
service, with pluggable modules for performing different authentication
schemes. The pluggable framework enables the system administrator, rather
than the application developer to define what method is used to
authentication with a particular application.
One might ask, why not just use PAM directly via the existing Authen::PAM
Perl bindings. While this works well for applications which wish to
authenticate against real UNIX user accounts (eg FTP, Telnet, SSH), it is
not particularly well suited to applications with 'virtualized' user
accounts. For example, a web application may maintain a set of virtual
user accounts in a database, or a chat server, may maintain a set of user
accounts in a text configuration file. Since it merely delegates through
to the underlying C libraries, the Authen::PAM module does not provide a
convenient means to write new authentication schemes in Perl. Thus the
Authen::PAAS distribution provides a pure Perl API for authentication.
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.

Fix every instance of RUN_DEPENDS:=${BUILD_DEPENDS} in p5 ports, except
for where it resulted in a change in output from build-depends-list or
run-depends-list.

Make it so that the default Perl is always called perl5.
- Move Perl's man1 files along with its man3 files.
- Move where Perl installs its modules man1 pages.
- Convert the ports installing man1 pages.
- Make different Perl versions installable at the same time.
Though you should note that only the default version can be used to
install Perl modules, and the non default Perl versions cannot use the
modules installed via ports if they contain .so as they are installed
in a version specific directory.

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

At the moment 1385 ports use BUILD_DEPENDS= ${RUN_DEPENDS} and 450
ports use BUILD_DEPENDS:= ${RUN_DEPENDS}. This patch fixes ports that are
currently broken. This is a temporary measure until we organically stop using
:= or someone(s) spend a lot of time changing all the ports over.
Explicit duplication > := > = and this just moves ports one step to the left

For ports maintained by ports@FreeBSD.org, remove names and/or
e-mail addresses from the pkg-descr file that could reasonably
be mistaken for maintainer contact information in order to avoid
confusion on the part of users looking for support. As a pleasant
side effect this also avoids confusion and/or frustration for people
who are no longer maintaining those ports.

${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} to CPAN.
