The /net/libnet10 port might be the same as the CPAN Bundle-Libnet
module(s). I will have to investigate that one. However, the
/mail/p5-Net_SMTP-TLS port is not the same as the CPAN Net-SMTP-SSL
module, which is the one I am looking for. CPAN lists both the
Net::SMTP::SSL and Net::SMTP::TLS modules. They are not identical.

I need the Net::SMTP::SSL module for a Perl program that I am using. It
is required by the program.

Thanks anyway. I will probably just use CPAN to install the modules.

     Because it is good for the dishwasher to match the stove and
