 The policy you are referring to is about libraries, not about tools for
 what I understood. For libraries, I totally agree the ''MacPorts own
 libraries'' policy. But in this particular case, these are tools (perl
 scripts specifically) that are installed on the system, and perl is itself
 installed on the system too. I have personally installed perl with
 MacPorts, but I think about other people who just want to install upx
 thinking it should take about one minute or two and they must wait one
 hour because perl is installed.[[BR]]
 Could someone on Tiger and someone on Pather confirm that the
 '''pod2man''', '''pod2text''' and '''pod2html''' are installed on these
 systems so that we could remove this annoying dependency ?
