    I have a draft of an updated Portfile,

    There don't seem to be separate p5-<module> ports
    available.  Are these included in other ports,
    or are they included in the Core perl modules?


There's a "corelist" program included with Perl which can answer these
questions:

     pyanfar:20005 Z$ corelist DB_File
     DB_File was first released with perl 5
     pyanfar:20006 Z$ corelist Pod::Parser
     Pod::Parser was first released with perl v5.6.0
     pyanfar:20007 Z$ corelist Test::More
     Test::More was first released with perl v5.6.2

Ah, thanks for that!
I should have pointed out that while LaTeXML has Mac users,
I can only rarely get hold of a Mac; setting this up is sorta
like building a ship in a bottle --- with the lights out.

We don't package perls as old as 5.6 any more, so you can assume these
are all installed with perl. We also don't mangle the perl core like
certain Linux distributions do, so if it's in core perl then it's in our
perl ports.

That's good to know; I'm normally a Linux developer, so yeah,
I've had to deal with some of those mysteries! :>

    And, assuming I get that sorted out,
    how might I go about suggesting this
    port for inclusion in the MacPorts repostitory?
    It looks as though adfernandes is no longer
    active.


The usual way: file a ticket on Trac with the new Portfile (or diffs
from the old if appropriate) and any additional files needed.

Sorry; didn't know. I've created the ticket.

Thanks Brandon;
