That was my first thought but then I thought I first present the idea. A lot more is possible such as adding other search engines. Develop some optional "quality feedback" mechanism for maintainers having ports that required a distfile to be looked up. Also, the script pulls in a lot of p5- dependencies. Makeing the actual script a port and have ports/Mk/* provide the necessary hooks could be a solution.
