        HyperNews is a Usenet-like facility using HTTPd CGI resources
        for dynamic management of message threads, feed-back on pages
        and the like.  Usually set up with a "base" page, and then
	Usenet'ish discussion threads accumulate.

 I noticed that you submitted this with a "p5-" prefix.  Just to let you
 know, that's for Perl 5 modules from CPAN, not just any program that uses
 perl5 to do it's work.
 
 Whoever imports this, please take note.
 
 Thanks.

 Thankyou for the correction.  I did not realize that p5- indicated CPAN
 only, and hadn't seen that anyplace.  I merely took it as a designator
 that it was something which requires Perl5.

 Any real reason for this rule?  As a ports user, I really don't care
 *where* something comes from.  I'll read the MASTER_SITES if I do.
 However, as a budding Perl hacker (well I hope) I do care if a port is
 for Perl5.

 It's not so much "where" as in physical location, as it is about which 
 collection it comes from.  The CPAN archives have a distinct "taste"
 that we thought would be nice to be inferred from the package name.

 If you are looking for perl ports to hack, just grep perl in
 ports/INDEX. :)

 The prefix was in lieu of putting them into a separate perl5 directory.
 
 The fact that they come from CPAN is irrelevant; the fact that they are
 perl5 modules as opposed to something that uses perl5.
 
 The best way to summarize is that ports with a p5- prefix are not
 standalone programs; they are building blocks for programs written in
 perl.  I would have preferred that they went into their own directory and
 lost the prefix, but I lost that arguement with Satoshi a year ago and
 haven't brought it up since.

Unless someone wants to step I'm afraid this port will never

at it, please do and give me a jingle when you get done. :)
