If I need this module

I am still not entirely sure how I get to it. There is source on the
page for just net::smtp, but it looks like I have to get libnet as
well?
If I do have libnet installed, how do I confirm it has net::smtp in
it?
Some perl modules come packaged in groups like that, which
definitely can
cause confusion. Maybe the best solution would be to list all actual
modules installed with the given port? Then it may be easier to
search for
it.
List it in the port description? Will that get searched? How do I
even get a list of what is in these packages from the CPAN site?
Just for kicks, I made a port for net-smtp 2.31 and all the fetches
fail
of course. So I suspect I need to use libnet instead. But how would
someone searching in macports, for net::smtp, ever know it is
there, since
it is hidden away in libnet?
Is there some part of the port file where I am supposed to list all
the
parts? If there is, how do I get such a list?
The base perl5.8 port should actually have what's in libnet like
Net::SMTP,
so no port should actually be needed for this one.
How would I know that?
port search smtp
All I see is
p5-net-smtp_auth @0.08 (perl)
Perl5 SMTP client with AUTHentication
If that is it, great, but how would I confirm it is in fact the same
thing? All signs point to it being different.
Beginning to dislike perl and I have not written more than 100 lines
of it in my life :)
