Ok, installed p5-perl-ldap and I get this
sudo port list installed | grep ldap
p5-file-readbackwards          @1.04           perl/p5-net-ldap
p5-perl-ldap                   @0.36           perl/p5-perl-ldap

* Again, wondering why readbackwards is still in that list.

Anyway, the package I am trying to use needs specifically net::ldap . 
33, how do I test that it is there, as currently, it does not seem to  
be.
