Hi,

Thanks for the quick answer.

The current ones: wip/munin-node and wip/munin-master
Previously, only PLIST was buggy. Now, after the 2011Q2 destdir change, 
they don't run anymore.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to work as expected:

PLIST:
+${PERL5_SITELIB}/Munin/Node/Config.pm

=> Creating binary package /usr/pkgsrc/packages/All/munin-node-1.4.5.tgz
pkg_create: can't stat 
`/usr/pkgsrc/wip/munin-node/work/.destdir/usr/pkg/${PERL5_SITELIB}/Munin/Node/Config.pm'
pkg_create: lstat failed for file ${PERL5_SITELIB}/Munin/Node/Config.pm: 
No such file or directory

I didn't choose this; this is the default behavior of the software

I'm afraid not: this software is special and doesn't use real Perl 
modules; it creates and installs .pm files by itself.
I managed to convert a small part of Munin to a real module 
(wip/munin-common) but if possible I'd like to avoid this for the other 
munin-* packages.
