>Description:
i've FreeBSD 6.2p installed.
perl588 is port-installed, and perl modules are installed/managed with cpanp. i.e., i do NOT use the p5-* ports.
on my sys,
pkg_info | grep gettext
gettext-0.16.1_3 GNU gettext package
&
module_info gettext
Name: gettext
Version: 1.05
Directory: /usr/local/ports/gettext-1.05
File: /usr/local/ports/gettext-1.05/gettext.pm
Core module: no
despite the prereq gettext perlmod being in-place, @ each port-update/upgrade, i get a stale-dependency message,
...
