I'm installing MySQL from ports, and having just entered "make install" I am seeing half of CPAN (Perl modules) is being downloaded and installed as well. I see the initial dependency for "Mysql.pm" is defined in the=20 Makefile under RUN_DEPENDS, presumably the other Perl modules installed stem from Mysql.pm's dependencies. This is not a problem per se, because I use Perl a lot and would have had to fetch the files anyway, but how can I tell in advance what other ports a given port needs to install, without going through each port's makefile? In other words, is there a program which will do this for me?
