Seem to work like magic and cut down two days of recompiling to 30
minutes or so. And no errors so far.

The only files left:
 # find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/ -type f ! -name '*.ph' | m
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/mach/auto/Crypt/DH/.packlist
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm.orig
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder/QuotedPrint.pm.orig
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder/BinHex.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Parser/Filer.pm.orig
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Head.pm.orig
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Decoder.pm.orig
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Entity.pm.orig
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.5/MIME/Tools.pm.orig

and I think they're leftovers from some port that didn't clean up after
itself, as I don't remember installing any cpan directly and on a
similar machine a pkg_info -W on them doesn't return anything.

Thanks for the script.
