>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,

 ...
 --->  Checking the package registry database
 Stale dependency: help2man-1.36.4_1 -> p5-gettext-1.05_1 (devel/p5-Locale-gettext):
 Skipped. (running in non-interactive mode; specify -i to ask)

which reoccurs at the next update.
