How to deal with p5-PodToHTML ?

[Geraud CONTINSOUZAS]

Dear list,

I come to you to discuss an issue I discovered with the port
p5-PodToHML. This CPAN module is pretty old and obviously not maintained
anymore.

Here is the issue : p5-PodToHTML requires p5-Pod-Parser. p5-Pod-Parser
installs a /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/Pod/Find.pm file. The
problem is that p5-PodToHTML also installs such a file (not registered
in the pkg-plist though).

On the one hand for p5-PodToHTML, we have :
@EXPORT = qw(find_pods contains_pod);

and on the other hand for p5-Pod-Parser :
@EXPORT_OK = qw(&pod_find &simplify_name &pod_where &contains_pod);

Overwriting Pod::Find with an older version breaks Pod::Parser under
some circumstances (I figured this out while trying the examples in
chromatic's latest book).

So, this is my question : what is the common way to handle this
situation? Should we set a CONFLICT? Mark p5-PodToHTML as BROKEN? I'm
ready to fill a PR for this port to request an update but I have no idea
how to handle it.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions. Please keep me in CC as I do not
subscribe to this list.

Best regards,

Geraud
