The port looks fine, I only tweaked the Makefile order to match
Makefile.template, and shortened DESCR.  "Short, simple, direct
scripts..." doesn't make much sense when you're only shipping one
script, also I don't think that mentioning how the script evolved over
time matters here.  I hope you agree with me here.

The script uses #!/usr/bin/env perl, maybe this should be set to a fixed
path but I do not have a strong opinion on the matter.

To import this I'd need a review from another developer.
