Sorry if I am missing something really basic. I don't see the perl module for Text::Aspell in the ports, by doing all sorts of permutations of this: cd /usr/ports && make search name=p5 |grep Aspell So, once again, sorry if this is really basic stuff, but how to I get Text::Aspell - Perl interface to the Aspell library installed?
