MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR

Hi everyone,

I'm noticing that when ports are set with MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR= CPAN:USERNAME, portscout can't detect updates when a version is released under a different username (which happens fairly regularly on larger projects). I am one of the biggest culprits for this... I added tons of ports with it set.

Given that all these ports fetch just fine with just MASTER_SITES= CPAN, I'd like to remove all the MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR=CPAN:USERNAME lines from the perl@ ports.

Is there a reason not to do this?
