Perl module to prevent leakage of lexical hints
Lexical::SealRequireHints works around two historical bugs in Perl's handling of
the %^H (lexical hints) variable. One bug causes lexical state in one file to
leak into another that is required/used from it. This bug, [perl #68590], was
present from Perl 5.6 up to Perl 5.10, fixed in Perl 5.11.0. The second bug
causes lexical state (normally a blank %^H once the first bug is fixed) to leak
outwards from utf8.pm, if it is automatically loaded during Unicode regular
expression matching, into whatever source is compiling at the time of the regexp
match. This bug, [perl #73174], was present from Perl 5.8.7 up to Perl 5.11.5,
fixed in Perl 5.12.0.
Both of these bugs seriously damage the usability of any module relying on %^H
for lexical scoping, on the affected Perl versions. It is in practice essential
to work around these bugs when using such modules. On versions of Perl that
require such a workaround, this module globally changes the behaviour of
require, including use and the implicit require performed in Unicode regular
expression matching, so that it no longer exhibits these bugs.
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.

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.

This actually needs Module::Build to build, which was fine up to Perl 5.20,
because it is included with Perl, but it will not be in 5.22.

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.
