IO::AIO implements asynchronous I/O using whatever means your operating system
supports. It is implemented as an interface to libeio.
Asynchronous means that operations that can normally block your program (e.g.
reading from disk) will be done asynchronously: the operation will still block,
but you can do something else in the meantime. This is extremely useful for
programs that need to stay interactive even when doing heavy I/O (GUI programs,
high performance network servers etc.), but can also be used to easily do
operations in parallel that are normally done sequentially, e.g. stat'ing many
files, which is much faster on a RAID volume or over NFS when you do a number of
stat operations concurrently.
While most of this works on all types of file descriptors (for example sockets),
using these functions on file descriptors that support nonblocking operation
(again, sockets, pipes etc.) is very inefficient. Use an event loop for that
(such as the EV module): IO::AIO will naturally fit into such an event loop
itself.
In addition to asynchronous I/O, this module also exports some rather arcane
interfaces, such as madvise or linux's splice system call, which is why the A in
AIO can also mean advanced.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18.
Before, we had:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the

Remove all the bootstrap files (.bs) from the plists.
Starting with perl 5.20, they're not installed any more if empty,
and on FreeBSD, they're (always ?) empty.
