Perl 5 ships with a module called Term::ReadLine which is an interface
to command line editing and recall. The version that ships with Perl
is only a stub, and offers little functionality.
This module supplements Term::ReadLine so that it uses GNU readline,
which comes with FreeBSD. Applications that use Term::ReadLine do
not need to be modified to gain the benefits of this package; it will
happen transparently upon installation.
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.

Rename all three p5-ReadLine-(Gnu,Perl,TTYtter) to their real names
p5-Term-ReadLine-(Gnu,Perl,TTYtter).
I can't find any reason for p5-ReadLine-Gnu to have been added as
ReadLine-Gnu instead of Term-ReadLine-Gnu twenty years ago.
devel/p5-Term-ReadLine-Perl was added as a dupplicate a few years back
where it should not have, so change its maintainer to be perl@ like
devel/p5-ReadLine-Perl had.
