in reply to access freebsd installed ports' origin & name/version

Your usage() subroutine, while very interesting, could be replaced by POD::Usage. Check out ybiC's The Dynamic Duo --or-- Holy Getopt::Long, Pod::UsageMan! for more.

    jeffa, yeah i know and that is what, POD::Usage, i most like/want to use instead of my own usage(). problem is that perl 5.005 as bundled w/ freebsd 4 doesn't has that module.

    OTOH, i don't get (m)any queries (good or bad) about this or other perl programs posted to freebsd mailing lists, so i might as well use the module. thanks for the nudge.

    it was fun to write usage() nonethelss.
