How to check if one can install Net::LDAP via the ports

[Hexren]

D> I ran the following command from /usr/ports

D> mx1# make search key="net::ldap"
D> Port:   p5-ResourcePool-Resource-Net-LDAP-1.0002
D> Path:   /usr/ports/net/p5-ResourcePool-Resource-Net-LDAP
D> Info:   A ResourcePool wrapper for Net::LDAP
D> Maint:  erwin at FreeBSD.org
D> B-deps: p5-Authen-SASL-2.07 p5-Convert-ASN1-0.18 p5-Digest-1.06
D> p5-Digest-MD5-2.33 p5-IO-Socket-SSL-0.95 p5-MIME-Base64-3.01
D> p5-Net-SSLeay-1.23 p5-ResourcePool-1.0103 p5-Storable-2.09 p5-URI-1.30
D> p5-XML-SAX-Base-1.04 p5-perl-ldap-0.30
D> R-deps: p5-Authen-SASL-2.07 p5-Convert-ASN1-0.18 p5-Digest-1.06
D> p5-Digest-MD5-2.33 p5-IO-Socket-SSL-0.95 p5-MIME-Base64-3.01
D> p5-Net-SSLeay-1.23 p5-ResourcePool-1.0103 p5-Storable-2.09 p5-URI-1.30
D> p5-XML-SAX-Base-1.04 p5-perl-ldap-0.30

D> But, I do not think this is what I am looking for - referencing:
D> http://www-personal.umich.edu/~malth/gaptuning/postfix/

D> Anyway, what's the best way to search for a Perl module in the ports,
D> such as Net::LDAP, and if I can't find it, what would Plan B, be?

D> Thank you,

"perl -MCPAN -e shell"
this should open the CPAN shell you cann then install a module by typing
"install Net::LDAP"

this is served from memory. I would suggest that you read perl.org and
cpan.org for more info on using the CPAN shell. (look at
http://search.cpan.org/~andk/CPAN-1.76/lib/CPAN.pm)
