#46515: naturaldocs' installation locations vary depending on perl5's installed
variant
--------------------------+-------------------------
 Reporter:  ryandesign@…  |      Owner:  landonf@…
     Type:  defect        |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Normal        |  Milestone:
Component:  ports         |    Version:  2.3.3
 Keywords:                |       Port:  naturaldocs
--------------------------+-------------------------
 naturaldocs' installation locations vary depending on perl5's installed
 variant. For example, on my system, with perl5 installed with the
 +perl5_20 variant, naturaldocs installed:

 {{{
 /opt/local/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.20/NaturalDocs ->
 /opt/local/lib/NaturalDocs-1.5/Modules/NaturalDocs
 }}}

 This breaks ports expecting naturaldocs' files to be in a particular
 location. See comment:ticket:46363:2

 The port should be updated to depend explicitly on perl5.16 and to install
 its symlink pointing to the perl5.16 module directory. I would not suggest
 adding perl variants because that too would break dependents of
 naturaldocs, unless those dependents were to also adopt the same variants
 (though that would also be an acceptable solution).
