developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely

already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
Pkgsrc changes:
- Added HOMEPAGE.
Relevant changes since version 1.01:
===========================
* fixes for various tests
* Added support for external gzip.
module directory has changed (eg. "darwin-2level" vs.
"darwin-thread-multi-2level").
binary packages of perl modules need to be distinguishable between

PKGREVISION of all perl module packages and introduce
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED for perl as perl>=5.8.5nb5 so the correct
dependencies are registered and the binary packages are distinct.

collection as devel/p5-IO-Zlib.
The IO::Zlib module provides a Perl IO:: style interface to the
Compress::Zlib package. The main advantage is that you can use an
IO::Zlib object in much the same way as an IO::File object, so you
can have common code that doesn't know which sort of file it is
using.
