The pkgdb -F and portversion utilities complain about missin origin of these files. However, there is no origin since they are not really ports in the traditional sense. portversion outputs something like this: bsdpan-Digest-MD5-2.16 # error - origin not recorded; run pkgdb -F and running pkgdb -F does no good since there is no origin ;-( >How-To-Repeat: install perl 5.6.1 with BSDPAN and install some modules via CPAN. run "portversion -v -L=". >Fix: I think it may be worth some special-case handling of ports that have no origin like this, but I'm not sure the mechanics of doing it. Right now, just ignore those warnings... It is not urgent, but something to keep in mind as we progress towards FreeBSD 5.x where perl5.6+BSDPAN might be standard.
