I had just installed the most recent version of the port on FreeBSD
5.2-CURRENT.  Now of course, it's overwritten (sort of) by a 5.8.3.

FreeBSD home.cybernude.org 5.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.2-CURRENT #14: Sun
Jan 18 15:02:24 PST 2004
root at home.cybernude.org:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/GHOME  i386

From watching other things happen on the system, I gather previous
versions of are still lurking about:

It must be putting them someplace besides a "standard" location.  The
built-via-CPAN version put them where they come up with a man command
without any other modifications.
