Description ambrisko 1999-10-29 19:50:00 UTC 
Since we build perl5 in the base system, we do not build in support
for gdbm.  A normal perl5 build would look for gdbm and then build
in the required support automatically.  I've take the GDBM code from
contrib/perl and made a port of it following the lines of portlint.

Suggestions appreciated on this somewhat strange matter.

There's a version of p5-GDBM in ports now, but I'm not sure if this one 
has anything nsayer (the maintainer) would like to look at, so I'm  
assigning it to him.

Rather than building the source into the port, eivind's suggestion 
was to fetch it from the horse's mouth (the perl dist). I believe 
that approach will be easier to keep up to date even if it is a bit 
wasteful of download bandwidth (but better than insisting on 
src/contrib being present).
