The convention is that a perl module Foo::Bar when turned into a port, is called p5-Foo-Bar. This applies to the vast majority of perl module ports: however there are some, largely historical exceptions (and those usually don't obey the standard module naming conventions on CPAN either). Examples of exceptions are: www/p5-libwww, biology/p5-bioperl, p5-Nysql-modules and various other p5-lib<mumble> ports. On the specific question of Net::LDAP, the port you want is one of the exceptions: net/p5-perl-ldap. I found that but doing: % make search name=3Dldap which turned up a couple of likely suspects. A quick check of the pkg-plist confirmed that it was the right module: % less /usr/ports/net/p5-perl-ldap/pkg-plist Looking at the pkg-plist and pkg-descr file is usually enough to tell you what you need to know when looking for the appropriate port.
