consistent programming interface (API) to the World-Wide Web. The main
focus of the library is to provide classes and functions that allow you
to write WWW clients, thus libwww-perl said to be a WWW client library.
The library also contain modules that are of more general use.
The main architecture of the library is object oriented. The user
agent, requests sent and responses received from the WWW server are all

these services. The interface should be easy to extend and customize
for your needs. Manual pages: # FreshPorts has no man page information for this port.

Approved by: maintainer 5.65_1 ade Clear moonlight beckons.
Requiem mors pacem pkg-comment,
And be calm ports tree.
E Nomini Patri, E Fili, E Spiritu Sancti. 5.65_1 sobomax Conditionalise several dependencies on PERL_LEVEL to make those ports more
friendly for perl-5.8.0, which has those dependencies included into the
base distribution.
Sponsired by: Porta Software Ltd 5.65_1 sobomax Don't assign ${RUN_DEPENDS}=${BUILD_DEPENDS} because it leads to sed_inplace
package leaking into dependency list on FreeBSD versions that don't support
sed -i.
Revealed by: work on upcoming GNOME tinderbox 5.65_1 petef Don't use ${REINPLACE_CMD}, since this is a p5 module, we already
depend on perl.
Requested by: tobez 5.65_1 petef Remove a .bak file created by ${REINPLACE_CMD}; otherwise it gets
installed.
Noticed by: kevlo 5.65_1 petef Make the default sendmail /usr/sbin/sendmail instead of /usr/lib/sendmail
and bump PORTREVISION.
