Does this Perl (5.8 & onwards) program ...

  http://www103.pair.com/parv/comp/src/perl/check-portupgrade-00


... produces anything when run *without any arguments*?

Purpose of the program is to find a port name (based on directory
name in /var/db/pkg) which fails to match the regular expression
/^(.+)-([^-]+)$/ used in pkginfo.rb, among other files of
portupgrade.

If the Perl program is run with any arguments, then a sorted list of
matched names will be printed, something like ...

                aalib-1.4.r5_4 : aalib             1.4.r5_4
             acroread8-8.1.2_2 : acroread8         8.1.2_2
  acroreadwrapper-0.0.20080906 : acroreadwrapper   0.0.20080906
                     agg-2.5_5 : agg               2.5_5
            aircrack-ng-1.0.r1 : aircrack-ng       1.0.r1
                amspsfnt-1.0_5 : amspsfnt          1.0_5
  ...
