Since it's maintainership was passed to perl@freebsd ...

  Pass maintainership of almost of my "p5-*" ports to "perl@".

  (I hope updating of them will be improved).


... DBD::Oracle has not been updated. (The updates that are there are
related to Ports infrastructure & build/install.)

Somebody needs to file a PR to update the port. (Tsk, tsk [0,1].)
