Are there any more specific notes on perl mods, and the perl.sources  
file?  Mainly, how it works, and what you use as filenames?  I am  
looking at port edit p5-something_already_installed and they are  
pretty bare, but they do have checksums which I do not know how to get  
at.

I am also not entirely clear on file names, and how the entire process  
works with these small simple modules.

Curious, how come MacPorts does not have 100% parity with CPAN?  CPAN  
seems to work fine on OS X, other than it is a little scary and  
strange at times, but is there not a layer to MacPorts that translates  
CPAN into a portfile, or even does so automatically?
