I use the ports and packages from http://www.freebsd.org/ports Do a search for the module that you require P5- means it is a perl module also you can use the ports collection for PHP modules as well. This will automatically install any other dependent modules. Hope this helps Thanks Sean, it does help indeed. But I have installed some perl modules via CPAN.

I dont follow, CPAN.pm is installed as part of the perl port/package. Do you mean the setup after you run perl -MCPAN -e 'shell' ? I thought CPAN was depreciated in favor of CPANPLUS. I have installed CPANPLUS from ports without any problems. Well CPAN is part of the perl58 port while CPANPLUS is still an addon as far as i can see. I tend to install my perl modules as ports anyway though.

Re: easiest way to install CPAN on FreeBSD
Hi everybody! I'm not a very heavy perl user, but I've never *needed* to install CPAN on FreeBSD. A little creative searching has revealed that most perl packages are part of the FreeBSD Ports collection. If you use more obscure CPAN packages, I can see there might be a need to install CPAN, but try ports first. I'll just add my 2-cents. I've had repeated 'issues' with port-installed BSDPAN perl modules. Those have been the usual: lagging versions, source bugs, dependency conflicts with modules installed that are unavailable of problematic via BSDPAN, etc etc. I've found, in those cases, that communicating with the Port-maintainer has not always been 'fruitful', and, communicating with the perl mod author usually results in that's a freebsd port problem. So, I currently use the Perl 588 *port*. Then I install CPANPLUS and remove all traces of BSDPAN-installed modules, replacing them with CPANPLUS-installed modules. A little bit of work, but, once done, I've had very few problems, and *much* better responsiveness from perl module authors in actually fixing problems. And, the folks on the perl lists/channels are much more willing/able to answer/solve problems. Also, around here, I've got many different platforms to deal with. Perl+CPANPLUS is platform agnostic -- it looks-n-feels the same. Just easier for my brain to grok than yet-another way -- ala BSDPAN. Like I said, just my 2-cents. HTH!

That leaves just two readily available avenues open. 1) Become a maintainer and port the module to FreeBSD. This is a rather time consuming process that while it has its advantages, it is certainly not advantageous for a user who needs the module installed now. 2) Use CPANPLUS to install the module. Unless the user has the time, knowledge and motivation to do the first, the second approach is usually superior.
