 You probably wanted:
 
  pkg_info -g -L -x p5-XML-SAX
 
 The problem is:
 
  Installing p5-XML-SAX-Base installs Exception.pm, blowing away
  p5-XML-SAX-0.96's Exception.pm
 
  Upgrading p5-XML-SAX from 0.96 to 0.99 (using portmaster, for
  instance) removes Exception.pm since it was in the plist of
  the old p5-XML-SAX-0.96.
 
  Then a later part of the upgrade of p5-XML-SAX from 0.96 to 0.99
  fails due to the missing Exception.pm
 
 Manually reinstalling p5-XML-SAX-Base and then p5-XML-SAX fixed things
 for me.
 
 A note in UPDATING is pretty much needed here since portmaster
 did not know it removed a file from a different port.
