#72473: p5-pod-markdown has nonsensical binary installed

 The “p5-pod-markdown” port is replaced by p5.34-pod-markdown. That port,
 though, installs a binary “/opt/local/bin/pod2markdown-5.34”.

 This isn’t very helpful for scripts that expect to find a “pod2markdown”
 binary (without the version suffix). If I install “p5-pod-markdown”, it
 seems logical that a “pod2markdown” command/binary/symlink be made
 available as a result.

 Should p5-pod-markdown instead maybe be defined as a thin wrapper around
 the p5.34 port, that just installs a symlink to it?

 Thank you!
