i have written a small haskell program to solve a problem many users of freebsd may have - knowing what ports have been updated after a daily/weekly etc cvsup. this is a trivial bit of coding hardly worth attention, but if it might be of use to you, you can find it here:

standard disclaimers - coded & tested mildly by me, a hobbyist haskeller
I don't mean to rain on your parade or anything, but isn't this just a simple: find /usr/ports -mtime -1 or find /usr/ports -mtime -X where X is the number of days? What is the advantage of using Haskell in this case? (And if the answer is involves "Because I wanted to see if I could" or "For fun" or "To learn", then I'm always okay with that.)
