Pthread::GetThreadId is FreeBSD specific Perl module
providing single non-portable function getthreadid_np()
that returns kernel level POSIX thread id as integer value.
It may be useful for Perl code running as hook/callback functions
in embedded threaded Perl environment when code has no direct control
on thread creation. For example, rlm_perl module of FreeRADIUS
that may use multiple embedded Perl instances.
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 is new port containing FreeBSD specific Perl5 module Pthread::GetThreadId.
It provides Perl code with access to non-portable pthread_getthreadid_np(3)
function. It may be useful for Perl code running as hook/callback functions
in embedded threaded Perl environment when code has no direct control on thread
creation.
For example, rlm_perl module of FreeRADIUS that may use multiple embedded Perl
instances, so that Perl native value of threads->tid is not unique.
