It's been made pretty clear to me by a number of folks that p5* ports have "no responsibility" for keeping track of dependencies/conflicts/whatever with NON p5*- installed modules. I'm sure there are a lot of really experienced folks around here who have NO problems with p5*-based systems. For me, though, I can only say that I never quite figured out how to make those annoying, not-infrequent conflicts go away -- EXECPT to move to a "vanilla" CPAN/CPANPLUS (doesn't much matter, actually -- *these* two *do* play nice together) system. Once I removed/replaced all the FreeBSD BSDPAN- & p5- installed modules, all my conflicts have gone away. As "they" say, YMMV. HTH!
