BSDPAN is the collection of modules that provides tighter than ever
integration of Perl into BSD Unix.
Currently, BSDPAN does the following:
o makes p5- FreeBSD ports PREFIX-clean;
o registers Perl modules in the FreeBSD package database with a
package name derived from the module name.
The name is of the form: bsdpan-ModuleName-V.VV.
Anyone interested in where BSDPAN is developing should read Anton's
message to the ports mailling list:

1) (Biggest) I tried long-and-hard to keep the version number (5.006)
backwards compatible with FreeBSD; I have lost this battle, and
must defer to the Perl convention (5.6.0). Victims include suidperl.
this means that dirs with a name of 5.006 will be replaced with
dirs named 5.6.0 in both /usr/libdata/perl and /usr/local/lib/perl.
2) Errno module is added.
3) Alpha bits extensively tweeked after a Beast-build.
Other commits to follow.
fixes the way that third-party apps like apache link in perl .so's
(and previously did not get libperl linked in.)
NOTE - you neeed to recompile all your perl stuff - all the p5-*
por4ts with C code, and things like mod_perl.
are installed in the same place as on 2.2.*; this will almost
certainly change in the future.
While I'm here, finish off the shared library brouhaha with miniperl.
1) Inspired by JB's finding of a hardcoded /usr/bin/ranlib in the
config files, these have been properly cleaned up and have
been personalised for FreeBSD, not MarkM.
2) Inspired by Peter, copying of the lib/ext etc dirs has been
replaced by a link farm.
3) Common code has been moved to a higher-level Makefile.inc.
This has been tested with a make -j8.
Remove the /usr/bin path to ranlib and just let the build environment
set the path. Running an aout version of ranlib on an elf library
is something we'd prefer not to do. I'm surprised that the build
didn't spit any errors when it did this. Shrug.
1) Fix up the NOSHARED stuff (bde)
2) Accomodate CFLAGS (vanilla)
3) Provide separate files for i386 and alpha (Doug Rabson)
In case 3, the supplied files were corrupted, but the concepts
sound enough, so I just copied what exists into
config.SH-{elf|aout}.{i386|alpha}. Alpha team, go ahead and do what
is necessary on config.SH-elf.alpha. :-)
