Thanks to Ryan & Scott for the inside skinny on this...

At present only MySQL, Python 3.3, Git & a newer version of perl 
than the MacPorts apache one (plus CPAN) reside in /usr/local. 
The MacPorts version of perl is in my $PATH so perl --version 
returns /opt/local/bin although `whereis` perl defaults to the 
OS X system version. I’ll adjust that.

Having read the archives I noticed that the vanilla use of CPAN 
is not advised & so I’ll read about cpan2port.

Once again, thanks.

Cheers,

     Phil.
