Comment (by bruce.miller@…):

 Unfortunately, I rarely get access to a Mac to do development on, and am
 not in a position to do any testing soon.  I develop on Linux, but have
 users on Macs. Ideally, I'd stumble across a MacPorts maintainer that was
 interested in actually ''using'' LaTeXML, and would be willing to take on
 the maintainer status for LaTeXML without feeling taken advantage of.
 Otherwise, I'm just here depending on the kindness of strangers! :>

 I'd hoped that the update would be a simple matter of updating the version
 & checksums, but it looks like there's a deeper problem with the strategy
 for perl versions; and maybe some controversy? It sounds like Ryan isn't
 too fond of the idea of simultaneously supporting several versions. Should
 we just revert it to the straightforward 5.16 only?

 Without understanding the details of the perl port group, however, what
 you said about the order of commands makes sense.

 BTW: I don't think there's much use in separating out the executables from
 the modules; the modules are really just the implementation of the
 executables (although they ''could'' be used independently).
