Within the ports collection, there is roughly 750 perl modules. At times I have installed versions that are outdated, and it has caused problems for various scripts I am writing. So I decided to write a script that checks the version of the perl module in ports compared to the version CPAN has. It isn't horrible, and there is a legitimate reason for many ports to be out-of-date against CPAN, however, just over 23% of the modules in ports are out-dated. The list is updated nightly after a fresh cvsup of ports. The list is located at: http://www.FreeBSDsecurity.com/ports/ At the moment, the list takes a good 15 seconds to load, as I have some issues to deal with in how I store the information and load it. The list can be viewed at the moment either in its entirety or broken down just displaying ports which are outdated, ports which are undefined on CPAN, ports which are newer than what CPAN has for whatever reason, or ports which are the same version as what is listed on CPAN. If you have any comments, compliments, complaints, questions, etc. please feel free to contact me. I am not on the ports mailing list, as I would never take the time to read all of the e-mail, so please cc any response to me. Thanks, Daniel B.
