Description geraud 2009-09-28 09:10:01 UTC 
The devel/p5-Cwd port should be considered for immediate deletion. It is obsolete (the last version on CPAN is from August 2004). Moreover, this particular module is now part of the PathTools CPAN distribution from the same author (devel/p5-PathTools in ports). If that's not good enough a reason, PathTools is part of the core modules bundled with perl (5.8 and 5.10). Installing p5-Cwd is the best way to screw one's Perl setup as it will be picked before the one in core.


There is no good reason to keep this port in the tree. The only port that directly depends on it is textproc/p5-LaTeX-Driver which incidentally also depends on devel/p5-PathTools (causing to install the file Cwd.pm twice on a system).


If immediate removal is not possible and a deprecation cycle is required, a commiter should at least mark both devel/p5-PathTools and devel/p5-Cwd as CONFLICT'ing since they will both try to install different files in the same location.

Fix: 

Remove devel/p5-Cwd from the ports tree.
How-To-Repeat: $ cd /usr/ports; grep -nH Cwd.pm lang/perl5.*/pkg-plist devel/p5-PathTools/pkg-plist
lang/perl5.10/pkg-plist:652:lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/Cwd.pm
lang/perl5.8/pkg-plist:449:lib/perl5/%%PERL_VER%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/Cwd.pm
devel/p5-PathTools/pkg-plist:3:%%SITE_PERL%%/%%PERL_ARCH%%/Cwd.pm
