Add www/p5-CGI.
The Perl CGI module has been deprecated from the core Perl distribution, and
will be removed in the upcoming Perl 5.22. We already have a www/p5-CGI.pm
port, but at an older version. There were incompatible changes introduced in
p5-CGI-4.00 (in particular, components began to be spun off into separate
packages).
Going forward it will be important for us to have the current p5-CGI
module in the ports tree, but the older version should probably remain, at
least for now, to maximize compatibility.
This commit registers conflicts between p5-CGI and p5-CGI.pm. We should
probably consider renaming p5-CGI.pm to p5-CGI-3 to make the difference
clearer.
I'm putting myself as maintainer in case this port causes problems. If
everything is good in a week I'll transfer it over to perl@.
