 I think there is a tradition to do so if this is done port by port.
 I believer this kind of change should be done in one big commit
 if this is the way to go.

 perl@ is not ports at .

 It's not supported by the CPAN module. But it IO/ contains
 IO::Zlib, then remove the authors subdir (IIRC, this is a long
 term goal of perl ports).

 Yes, but I suggest that you submit one PR for all perl@ ports. :-)
