Please consider using the github portgroup instead.

Just doing a quick update of an old nomaintainer port.  Feel free to embellish 
as you see fit.
I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the github portgroup and its 
capabilities. It's important to use existing portgroup, rather than try to 
reproduce their behavior manually.
Yes, I am aware of the github portgroup. See ffmpeg-devel for an example. I am also aware of your opinion that it is important to use existing portgroups in all cases.

But in this case, I now wonder why you're fetching from github, instead of from 
cpan.

Because the port's home page indicates that the source should be downloaded from github (instead of sourceforge) with no mention of CPAN. Before my modifications the port downloaded from sourceforge so I followed suit and changed to the github download path instead. I considered using the github portgroup but decided that doing so to set the download path only would add undue complexity and would possibly conflict with the workings of the perl5 portgroup.
