* So, the above module's PKGNAME would be perl5:Time::CTime. It looks ugly,

Well if you are really going to import 100+ ports, we should probably
think about a separate directory. If for nothing else than to remove
the "perl5" prefix from the subdirectory names. ;)
That won't really change anything about the PKGNAME though, there are
some places that all ports are listed together.
How about "perl5-Time-CTime"? I have nothing against colons
personally, but I'm not sure if the same can be said about all the
utilities lying out there. Also I'm trying to standardize the
PKGNAMEs, and connecting components with dashes is already sort of
standard ("jp-mh-6.8.3", etc.).
