 p5.8-compress-snappy fails to build with perl 5.8 because of missing
 `parent.pm`:

 }}}

 The port also contains comments like
 {{{
 # requires ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.52+ but perl 5.8 core only
 provides 6.48
 }}}
 While the dependency could probably be added, it would make more sense to
 simply drop older versions of Perl and figure out which other dependencies
 could be removed.
