There was an attempt at that: cpan2port

Cool, thanks.
I downloaded it, and moved it to ~/bin which is in my path.
When I run it with no arguments to get to help for it, I get errors,
which reference macports, which I should not, since I am using the
built in perl in OS X.
$whereis perl
/usr/bin/perl
I think I am sort of seeing what is going on here. perl -V is using
the macports version for some reason. would think that `perl` needs
to continue to use the OS X perl, and that I would need to call out
the /opt/local/bin/perl when I want to use the MacPorts one.
I came to this conclusion since when making a port, one of the main
things the port does, is read in files and do a find and replace on
the built in perl and stuff in /opt/local/bin/perl.
If that is the case, then it has to be my .bashrc file that is messing
with the proper behavior.
I have the usual
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin"
And I added in
# For MacPorts
export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH
export DISPLAY=:0.0
export EDITOR=/usr/bin/mate
I had to ditch the pre-installed .profile since it did not work for
me. Maybe I should have referenced it from this file. How do I tell
the shell to use a certain order on where perl is located, or is that
the wrong way to solve this?
Also, is there any way for EDITOR to be dynamic, so that when I am on
the actual machine I want to use mate as my editor, but if I am over
ssh, I want to use a terminal based editor. Is that just a matter of
wrapping the default in a condition that checks where I am at?
