Re: search/browse freebsd ports INDEX*

[tomhukins]

Do you know about my Perl modules for parsing FreeBSD's Ports INDEX file? My modules have a few small bugs that need fixing, but mostly they work well. I haven't put them on CPAN because they're specific to one OS (although maybe I should, I don't know), but they're in the Ports collection.

talk about creating the almost similar wheel!

i was not aware of your efforts.  i announced it on -questions
mailing list, got no response.

from the description, it looks like your module does what i had
wished & created.  i will study it in few days.
