I didn't really understand BSDPAN, and so I installed all of my Perl modules via CPAN. Now I have all of these bsdpan-* packages installed, and portupgrade can't manage them. I'd love to migrate them all to p5-* packages so that portupgrade can manage them, but I haven't seen a mail post [1] about a good way (or a proper way) to do this with minimal effort. The only suggestion I found was to "remove it and reinstall" but the fact that all my bsdpan-* ports point to a p5-* origin makes me think there is a portupgrade command that could do this, even if it is a bit of a script (foreach bsdpan-* etc). Maybe the -o flag?
