Description
This one threw me for a loop — the configure phase for this package was taking more than 30 minutes. I stopped it and ran with port -dv, and discovered it repeating this question over and over:
(1) Africa (2) Asia (3) Central America (4) Europe (5) North America (6) Oceania (7) South America Select your continent (or several nearby continents) [] Sorry! since you don't have any existing picks, you must make a geographic selection.

I'm a beginner with MacPorts and with CPAN, so I don't know whether it's legit to rely on it to grab Perl modules rather than have explicit dependencies to other ports. I worked around it by running ‘sudo cpan’ and answering all the interactive questions, then trying the configure again. Complete logs (before and after) attached.

That is usually a sign of a missing dependency, though I note your success log didn't show anything else being installed by CPAN; also, XML::NamespaceSupport doesn't have much in the way of dependencies. The general case of CPAN asking questions in order to download should be fixed by r53351.
