Module::Manifest is a simple utility module created originally for use in Module::Inspector. It can load a MANIFEST file that comes in a Perl distribution tarball, examine the contents, and perform some simple tasks. It can also load the MANIFEST.SKIP file and check that. Granted, the functionality needed to do this is quite simple, but the Perl distribution MANIFEST specification contains a couple of little idiosyncracies, such as line comments and space-seperated inline comments. The use of this module means that any little nigglies are dealt with behind the scenes, and you can concentrate the main task at hand.
Binary packages can be installed with the high-level tool pkgin (which can be installed with pkg_add) or pkg_add(1) (installed by default). The NetBSD packages collection is also designed to permit easy installation from source.
The pkg_admin audit command locates any installed package which has been mentioned in security advisories as having vulnerabilities.
Please note the vulnerabilities database might not be fully accurate, and not every bug is exploitable with every configuration.
