Thanks for the new code!  Package updates for perl work fine here,
and no regressions found.

With respect to the --clean-* options, my earlier (a long time ago) 
test with --clean-distfiles showed that valid distfiles would be 
deleted if the corresponding port was not installed.  I'd like to 
only delete them if they are no longer valid (similar to portsclean 
-D).  I commonly rsync /usr/ports/distfiles to different build hosts, 
thus saving multiple downloads from the 'net.  I can't test the 
validity of this at the moment, is it still the case?  Would the 
--clean-packages feature behave the same way?

cheers,
doug
