I had found a slightly different command line in a mailing list archive which returned no results.

find /usr/local/lib -name '*.la' -exec grep -qi iconv {} \; -print |  xargs -n 1 pkg which -oq | sort -u

$ find /usr/local/lib -name '*.la' | xargs grep -l 'libiconv.la' | xargs pkg which
/usr/local/lib/libgdbm.la was not found in the database
/usr/local/lib/apr-util-1/apr_dbm_gdbm.la was not found in the database
/usr/local/lib/libaprutil-1.la was not found in the database
/usr/local/lib/libxml2.la was not found in the database

Much better. After sorting out a python issue, it looks to be happily building p5- (It wilily kill me in the morning, though).

Yes, but updating my installs seemed like a good thing to do *BEFORE* I update from 9.2/
