Note initial addition of p5-Hash-Util-FieldHash-Compat version 0.03
as devel/p5-Hash-Util-FieldHash-Compat into The NetBSD Packages
Collection.

The Perl 5 module Hash::Util::FieldHash::Compat use Hash::Util::FieldHash
or ties, depending on availability.  Under older perls this module
provides a drop in compatible api to Hash::Util::FieldHash using
perltie. When Hash::Util::FieldHash is available it will use that
instead.  This way code requiring field hashes can benefit from
fast, robust field hashes on Perl 5.10 and newer, but still run on
older perls that don't ship with that module.  See Hash::Util::FieldHash
for all the details of the API.
