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

 > The file is either provided by `perl5.x`
 (`/opt/local/lib/perl5/5.20/parent.pm`) or by `p5.x-parent`
 (`/opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20/parent.pm`). I didn't check, but
 apparently perl 5.8 doesn't install 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.
