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@.

This is the continuance of the classic perl CGI module, bundled with Perl until
|
|
Perl 5.22. Development is continuing on p5-CGI and components of it are
|
|
actively splitting to other modules.
|
|
|
|
The older, everything-in-one-package module is still available in www/p5-CGI.pm.
