 Hi,

 Trying to build Net::Curl perl port and started with cpan2port HOWTO
 example (https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/cpan2port).
 Even example fails.
 Why does it try to install  p5.22-timedate for timedate example port?

 glagol:macports vsaf$ ./cpan2port -t Date::Parse
 Date::Parse is not perl porter
 Date::Parse (no description available)
 Date::Parse will show deps
 Is it OK to try to connect to the Internet? [yes]
