There is a ridiculous amount of p5-* ports that have completely unnecessary build dependencies on p5-Test-*. These package are usually only needed to run unit tests (cd ${WRKSRC} && make test), which *none* of those ports do.
(ridiculous, in this case, means close to 300) What's worse, most of these ports have RUN_DEPENDS = ${BUILD_DEPENDS}, which means even the prebuilt packages have these unnecessary dependencies! All of this could be avoided by adding these few lines to the port's Makefile, and removing p5-Test-* from BUILD_DEPENDS: pre-configure: @(cd ${WRKSRC} && ${REINPLACE_CMD} -E -e \ "s/'?Test::[^']+'?[[:space:]]*=>[[:space:]]'?[0-9.]+'?,//" \ Makefile.PL) (some ports also need to edit Build.PL) Alternatively, this could be added to bsd.perl.mk, conditional on the presence of a PERL_UNTESTIFY_FILES variable which would list Makefile.PL and / or Build.PL for the ports that require it.
