Sorry for the delay in replying. We've been tracking this one down for a while and found the culprit. FreeBSD has overridden parts of MakeMaker (specifically ExtUtils::Packlist) and their code can get into an infinite loop during the tests. It's just been patched in the repository to work around, disabling FreeBSD's special code which shouldn't have been running during testing anyway. A fix for FreeBSD's code has also been sent to FreeBSD. You can get that from http://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-MakeMaker or wait for the next release. -- 44.
