If you undo what you can that was done outside macports and we can fix  
any dependency issues.

Also, if there are tests that are not being done at p5-mac-growl  
install time let's fix that too.

It looks like cpan2port creates a very simple Portfile which may  
benefit from some attention. Just going off memory here but I don't  
recall it use a port group and I think there is a perl port group.

If you don't mind me asking, what are you wanting Mac::Growl for?
