Even if you install perl modules exclusively from ports, you should
still be able to run:

    % perl -MCPAN -e shell

and then type the 'r' command to see which of your installed packages
have updates available on CPAN.  Using CPAN to overwrite a package
initially installed as a FreeBSD port would be a mistake though:
better to pkg_delete first and install the package from scratch with
CPAN afterwards.

	Cheers,
