I've just submitted a patch to make it easier for people to define
dependencies on Perl modules: PERL_BUILD_DEPENDS and PERL_RUN_DEPENDS.

The syntax was:

    BUILD_DEPENDS=	${SITE_PERL}/${PERL_ARCH}/MIME/Lite.pm:${PORTSDIR}/mail/p5-MIME-Lite

The syntax is:

    PERL_BUILD_DEPENDS=	MIME-Lite:${PORTSDIR}/mail/p5-MIME-Lite

It checks the for the existence of MIME::Lite with the "perl -e
'use MIME::Lite'" command.

The PR number is ports/87318.

Feel free to comment about it.

Edwin
