Generally you want to use ports/packages. If you bypass them and try installing things systemwide from cpan you're likely to have things break (either right away, or later when you update). To find packages containing Perl modules, pkglocatedb is the easiest way to find the correct package name from the module name.. # pkg_add pkglocatedb $ pkglocate XML::Feed p5-XML-Feed-0.65:www/p5-XML-Feed:/usr/local/man/man3p/XML::Feed.3p p5-XML-Feed-0.65:www/p5-XML-Feed:/usr/local/man/man3p/XML::Feed::Content.3p p5-XML-Feed-0.65:www/p5-XML-Feed:/usr/local/man/man3p/XML::Feed::Enclosure.3p p5-XML-Feed-0.65:www/p5-XML-Feed:/usr/local/man/man3p/XML::Feed::Entry.3p p5-XML-Feed-0.65:www/p5-XML-Feed:/usr/local/man/man3p/XML::Feed::Util.3p If you need something that isn't in ports then generally writing a port for it is the best approach. -- Please keep replies on the mailing list.
