The CPAN page says that LWP::Simple is in it.
Is there a LWP::Simple port, or is this ok to install, even though
there are probably a million things I do not need in the p5-libwww-
perl
Wondering what the normal procedure is in these cases, where you
need one thing, contained in another, and the other one has a bunch
of stuff you do not need.
p5-libwww-perl does seem to contain LWP::Simple. LWP stands for
LibWww-Perl, so it makes sense that LWP::Simple would be a part of
the libwww-perl package. You could discover this yourself by
installing it (sudo port install p5-libwww-perl) and then looking at
its contents (port contents p5-libwww-perl).
Ideally, there would be a single port that installs a given piece of
software. That seems to be the case here. Install p5-libwww-perl,
even if you don't need its other parts.
