It helps a lot if you know that perl stores its packages in a directory tree
so the file name for URI::Escape is URI/Escape

Type that into the Google search box at freshports and net/p5-URI is one of the results.
In the result page you have to click a button to expand the pkg-plist results to see
which one has that file.

I agree this is not super obvious, either.
