Thanks, Matt.  This is helpful.

Heap and XMLRPC::Lite are long-time dependencies and are in the Build 
script.  That they are not a dependency of the MacPorts package seems 
like a MacPorts mistake.

File::Slurp::Tiny is obsolete in the sense that between 0.22 and 0.23 I 
switched from using that module to using one called File::Slurper. 
Since the current MacPorts package uses Demeter 0.22, F::S::T should 
have been a dependency, but in the future, it will not be.

The dependency on Encoding::FixLatin::XS is a mistake made by me.  I 
made it a recommendation to quiet a spurious warning that happens on 
Windows but not on linux.  (No clue about the Mac.)  It's not actually 
used for anything and I just edited the build script to remove it as a 
dependency except on Windows.

So, if the portfile gets updated, it should be checked to be sure that 
Heap, XMLRPC::Lite, and (File::Slurp::Tiny | File::Slurper) are properly 
listed as dependencies and get installed.

Thanks,
B
