would anybody be interested in a perl program which displays
information about installed ports?

documentation (pod) is...

  http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/doc/doc.bin/listpkg.perl.text


...and the program itself...

  http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/unix/bin/listpkg.perl


...currently it shows only a port's origin & name/version.

display of description/comment may be added later.  but then
pkg_info already does that. (but it's -x option is case sensitive.)
i am 51% in favor of adding it.


one thing i want to know if the above is more than half the
duplication of some other effort or not.

thanks.
