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.
