Description

The current version of wml in DarwinPorts is 2.0.8:

http://www.darwinports.org/ports/?by=name&substr=wml&Search=Submit

The current version (as of a little over than 2 years ago) is 2.0.9:

http://www.thewml.org/

which adds "Support for Perl 5.8.0", hopefully by making its check for a sufficiently-recent version of Perl more general than looking for a small set of versions (e.g., look for 5.6.0 or later, rather than for 5.6.0 and 5.7.0).

The lack of support for 5.8.0 keeps it from working on Panther, which has perl 5.8.1-RC3 (well, 10.3.6 does, but even earlier versions had 5.8.x). As wml from www.thewml.org site appears to be built with an old version of libtool that doesn't understand Darwin, it's a royal pain to build from the source on www.thewml.org, so upgrading the DarwinPorts version would be useful.
