Description Homme Zwaagstra 2005-09-27 05:11:49 UTC

There is no ebuild for the DBD-XBase perl module. XBase provides access to XBase
(dBase, Fox*) dbf files.

This ebuild is based on DBD-SQLite/DBD-SQLite-1.08.ebuild. I placed it in the
dev-perl category of my local portage tree.

My apologies - I was unaware of the existence of g-cpan!

beu, do we have some perl docs? Or could we at least mention app-portage/g-cpan
somewhere in einfo of the perl ebuild? Seems like it would save some bugs and
unneeded effort (two just today). :)
