It looks like that particular version of the distfile isn't available on CPAN, so it fails to fetch. 4.024 (the current port version) is available,
as well as the latest 4.026.

If it worked before I'm guessing you had the 4.023 distfile then, and ended up deleting it via some method (clean --all, clean --dist, or manual removal
of files in ${prefix}/var/macports/distfiles/perl5).


Good, my thoughts exactly. So when someone makes a port file, and they target a version number, it is only reliably going to work for the period of time from that s-ware having that version number, up to the point in time that version is bumped to a higher version?

How do you suggest I edit this port file to make it bullet proof? One way would be for me to host the file, or for ports to host the file, or there is a third way to bring reliability to this situation I am not seeing.

Thanks
