doc: [ pepo/readme.txt ]

Hello, my name is Gianmarco and this my first attempt to make 
something with Perl...

The scripts (PePo) require an httpd, Perl5 and CGI.pm 
(which come with Perl 5 anyway).
If you use this program on a FreeBSD system prior of 2.2-STABLE, 
please check the right location of your perl 5 
(usually /usr/local/bin/perl), 
because the default perl in /usr/bin is 4.0.

The first script to run is maindir.pl

You can check addon.pl to change some defaults parameters, 
like fonts, color, max entries returned by search and so on...

## To do
The portdir.pl should show which pkg is installed, which one have 
an old version installed and if the pkg is not installed at all.
I have to find some gifs (like a little check of different colors) 
to put before the names..

## v.08 (20030308)
- Update code to comply with the new port standard
(i.e. comment in the Makefile) 

## v.07 (20030126)
- Modified pkg.pl to show WWW sites 
- Added some local dir ports to the ignore lists
- Added more MASTER_SITE to the $mastersite vars
- Begin to think to a full rewrite

## v.06 (20001225)
- New ports layout support

## v.05 (20000104)
- Code revamped

## v0.4 (981224)
- Added the higlight of files newer than an user 
defined value ($daysarrived in addon.pl) 

## v0.3 (981109)
- Implemented search. It use INDEX file in ports dir.
- Fixed a bug in reading some DISTFILES keyword when 
parsing Makefile 
- Added the keyword $maxqresults in addon.pl to check the 
search results.
- Some cosmetics
- There is still a bug when searching with a pattern containing a +. 

## v0.2 (981107)
- Fixed "+" handling in file names ( i.e. bpl+ , gshar+gunshar  )
- Fixed ${DISTNAME},${EXTRACT_SUFX}, ${DATE} in files names
- Multi distfiles on single line supported (i.e. gimp1)
- Changed the layout of pkg presentation

## v0.1 (unknown)
The scripts have some bugs :

1) I was not able yet to handle in a easy way the damned port names :-) 
that contain a '+' inside the name, strange 
but true the part of the name that follow the + disappear 
when this is passed as parameters of the cgi. It happens 
even if it is passed in the form of :
i.e.
varname='one+plus'
2) The script is very confused by multiple names of distname 
on the same line in the makefile (like gimp1)
3) Some macro are not handle yet, like ${DATE} in the file name.
4) Surely a lot of others ...


Thanks for reading and using my scripts.
