Description Palle Girgensohn 2003-10-23 00:10:19 UTC 
When running use.perl port, I expected all the system perl programs to
be exchanged for their port equivalences. But, for the below listed
files, they are installed by the port but never used unless one sets
/usr/local/bin before /usr/bin, which is hardly common? Shouldn't they
be handled by the use.port script as well?

c2ph
find2perl
h2ph
h2xs
perlbug
perlcc
perldoc
pl2pm
pod2html
pod2latex
pod2man
pod2text
s2p
splain

How-To-Repeat: Check it out:
for i in `ls /usr/bin`; do
	if [ -x /usr/local/*bin/$i ]
		then echo $i
		pkg_which /usr/local/bin/$i
	fi
done

State Changed
From-To: open->closed

After the recent update of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8, if perldoc, a2p, 
and other perl-related binaries are detected in /usr/bin, they are 
replaced with symlinks to the versions installed by perl port, provided 
use.perl port was run.
