Yeah...I understand that, I read the whole manual, and I read the whole
book, The Complete FreeBSD.   Sorry if I am missing something really basic.

I don't see the perl module for Text::Aspell in the ports, by doing
all sorts of permutations of this:
cd /usr/ports && make search name=p5 |grep Aspell

So, once again, sorry if this is really basic stuff, but how to I get
Text::Aspell - Perl interface to the Aspell library installed?
