I would assume, the Win32::Daemon is not needed, and that many of these may be available to the perl that ports already has in place, but I am not sure.

Is it correct that case is a non issue in something like `port search net-dns`? I see it finds it, but do I need to make sure case is correct when I declare a dependency. I will maintain the case in the read me, but I would like to confirm that case in case the read me is in error, if it matters of course.

"port search" should be case-insensitive, but you must declare dependencies with the same case as it says in the port.

For each of those, would those be bin, lib or path? I am thinking they are lib's but want to make sure they get stuffed in the right spot.

Use port:-style dependencies for all of them, declared as library dependencies (using depends_lib-append).


Well, I looked at a few other port files, and they did this:

depends_lib                     port:sqlite2 \
                                port:sqlite3

I take it that is not what you mean? I look at 5.5.1 and I fail to understand the suggestion you are making.

Currently, I am working in the assp Portfile, that I cleared out, since I have no idea how to start a new one and where to put it and such.

I have most of the basic stuff and it seems to start to work, and I am adding in one dependency at a time, starting with depends_lib port:p5-net-dns

sudo port install assp

I seem to recall this is a known bug and it is simple to work around, my google skills are failing me.
