CGI.pm is a stable, complete and mature solution for processing and preparing
HTTP requests and responses. Major features including processing form
submissions, file uploads, reading and writing cookies, query string generation
and manipulation, and processing and preparing HTTP headers.
CGI.pm performs very well in a vanilla CGI.pm environment and also comes with
built-in support for mod_perl and mod_perl2 as well as FastCGI.
It has the benefit of having developed and refined over 20 years with input from
dozens of contributors and being deployed on thousands of websites. CGI.pm was
included in the perl distribution from perl v5.4 to v5.20, however is has now
been removed from the perl core.
===> The following configuration options are available for p5-CGI-4.72:
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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.

Changes: http://search.cpan.org/dist/CGI/Changes
Add www/p5-CGI.
The Perl CGI module has been deprecated from the core Perl distribution, and
will be removed in the upcoming Perl 5.22. We already have a www/p5-CGI.pm
port, but at an older version. There were incompatible changes introduced in
p5-CGI-4.00 (in particular, components began to be spun off into separate
packages).
Going forward it will be important for us to have the current p5-CGI
module in the ports tree, but the older version should probably remain, at
least for now, to maximize compatibility.
This commit registers conflicts between p5-CGI and p5-CGI.pm. We should
probably consider renaming p5-CGI.pm to p5-CGI-3 to make the difference
clearer.
I'm putting myself as maintainer in case this port causes problems. If
everything is good in a week I'll transfer it over to perl@.
Lots and lots of cleanups. Teach p5-* in general about PKGNAMEPREFIX. Add
some missing/wrong dependencies. Show how to respect CC/CFLAGS. Many
miscellaneous modifications. I used more excessive hacks to force p5-Jcode
and p5-WWW-Search to respect CC/CFLAGS.
