based on this glowing recommendation I tried it.  First failure was  
that my bsdpan synthesized "packages" have no ORIGIN so it dumps  
core.  End of story.  This utility is not usable for me.  portupgrade  
is at least aware of bsdpan packages....

I will try it on my systems on which i don't have any customized perl  
stuff, though.
