Just be careful with these dual-life modules. The versions of modules
bundled with the distributions are almost always older than the
versions on CPAN, and thus the versions in ports. So, a bugfix in e.g.
Getopt::Long will only be distributed to FreeBSD users if there is an
explicit dependency listed in the Makefile.
