    Situation:
    I set up a portal server as per the instructions at their site; it
    involved installing some PERL modules from CPAN, which I have since
    learned on FreeBSD appears to be a no no...

    Now I have some updates to do, but I don't want it to interfere with
    the web portal software. In theory, the updates should just replace
    the CPAN stuff where they overlap, no? When I do some updates on
    software (like ClamAV) that apparently *uses* some of these modules, I
    get the error:
    pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MIME-tools-5.411 has no origin recorded
    pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MailTools-1.62 has no origin recorded
    pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MIME-tools-5.411 has no origin recorded
    pkg_delete: package bsdpan-MailTools-1.62 has no origin recorded

    but these errors aren't enough to keep it from completing the update on
    the software in question. Portversion is yielding:

    # portversion | grep -v "="
    apache <
    bsdpan-Archive-Zip <
    bsdpan-DBD-mysql <
    bsdpan-DBI <
    bsdpan-IO-stringy >
    bsdpan-Lingua-EN-NameParse >
    bsdpan-MIME-tools #
    bsdpan-Mail-POP3Client >
    bsdpan-MailTools #
    bsdpan-Spread***-WriteExcel >
    bsdpan-Test-Manifest <
    bsdpan-URI <
    bsdpan-Unicode-String <
    bsdpan-XML-RSS <
    bsdpan-perl-ldap <
    expat <
    ezm3 <
    libiconv <
    m4 <
    openssl <
    p5-libwww <
    perl <
    rc_subr <
    rsync <
    ruby <

    Meaning some PAN modules are of *higher* versions than available
    through ports? How?

    Can I safely try upgrading those modules? Has anyone run into
    something like this before?
