Sorry, I did not know the 'correct' answer at the time.
It should be clear *why* they fail: the package descriptions do not
mention the critical keywords ("URI::Escape").
FreshPorts does attempt to pull the pkg-plist information if possible.
It did for this port. I suppose we could go a step farther and figure
out how to determine that "URI/Escape.pm"== "URI::Escape" and save that
as a search term. That would help your search considerably.
