#72473 new defect
p5-pod-markdown has nonsensical binary installed

Description (last modified by FGasper (Felipe Gasper))
The p5-pod-markdown port is replaced by p5.34-pod-markdown. That port, though, installs a binary named /opt/local/bin/pod2markdown-5.34.
This isn’t very helpful for scripts that expect to find a pod2markdown binary (without the version suffix). If I port install p5-pod-markdown, it seems logical that a pod2markdown command/binary/symlink be made available as a result.
Should p5-pod-markdown instead maybe be defined as a thin wrapper around the p5.34 port, that just installs a symlink to it?
Thank you!

Your observations could apply to any of the thousands of p5- ports, and no, no such changes are intended. You might, after all, wish to use a different version of perl. How should p5-pod-markdown or any of the other p5- ports know which one?
