 Agreed regarding rewriting it not in Perl. I've seen some inconsistencies in 
pkglint as well. Here are a few for now and i will trickle more in as i see 
them:
 
 1) It doesn't understand FETCH_USING:
 
 WARN: Makefile:7: FETCH_USING is defined but not used. Spelling mistake?
 
 2) It did not throw an error on this line:
 
 ${EGDIR/apparmor.d ${EGDIR/dbus-1/system.d ${EGDIR/pam.d
 
 Non-closed braces need to throw an error.
 
 3) This line needs to throw an error too:
 
 DEPENDS+=               itstool[0-9]*:../../textproc/itstool
 
 The lack of a dash between the package and version cause this dependency to
 not be detected if it's installed (it's seen as a different package). pkglint
 needs to tell the developer that dependencies must include a name and version.
 
 
 These are seen with pkglint-4.106. Not sure if they've been fixed yet.
