You did it yourself, see below.

Note that the Berkeley-DB library (from the db41 port) and the Perl
interface thereto (DB_File) are two different things.


 I installed the db41 but after that was done, i went into the perl
 subdir, fixed up config.in and ran the perl installation. I had done
 that some time ago for graphdefang ( it's not from ports but it
 needed DB_File). I would think they have the same api, but what do I
 know of perl ;)

Ah!  This will also create that port.  I didn't know that DB_File is
part of the Berkeley-DB distribution.

So there are many ways to get at DB_File:

* It is included in Perl itself.
  (Perhaps you have to install the db41 port first, and then the Perl
  port.)

* perl -MCPAN -e shell

* Do like you did.

This is all quite confusing.

 to make the sentence shorter ;-)

 Note the Berkeley-DB library (/databases/db41) and it's Perl interface
(DB_File) are dissimilar.

 I googled this problem and I understand that *something* has
 installed this module/package/??? from CPAN. How can I find out what

If you do 

perl -MCPAN -e shell
install DB_File

then you get that port.

looks correct to me, but I'm an engineer and my language skills (outside programming 
languages) aren't the greatest. ;)

thanks for the help.

According to the pkg-plist for both the perl5 and perl58 ports, DB_File
is part of perl itself.  I don't think a port would try and install
something already on the system, and it shouldn't be using perl's
install method if it did.

Could it have been done by a non-port install maybe?
