Portfile for perl Archive::Rar

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

The license field should be changed to the name(s) of licenses we recognize. Consult other ports of this type for ideas of appropriate license names.

perl p5-archive-rar Portfile

After looking at several modules by he same author, I realized they all said they could be distributed under the same license as Perl, itself, so I copied the license field from port perl5.

Error: Unknown dependency: rar

[hyperbole (hyperbole)]

Archive::Rar is a Perl module that creates an interface to an external rar executable. The executable needs to be installed in /opt/local/bin. I created a symbolic link from /opt/local/bin to a copy of rar that I had installed on my computer.

Since all the version of rar I can find on the InterNET require a fee to use, I don't know if you want to continue with creation of this port now.

The issue is that in the dependency, you specified an invalid port, which is the last term. You instead need to write it like so:

bin:rar:unrar

But the unrar port doesn't provide a rar executable.

I see, I didn't realize that.
