Message originally "cpan/bsdpan/ports need help".
Really need help here. I really botched up perl
& cpan & can no longer do some portugrading, either,
that I need. Pasting the original message with threads
in below here. Hate to reinstall system, since all
other is working okay.
Original thread here:

I had read where it was better to use ports than cpan
modules. I had originally used cpan because of updating
the virus data files for f-prot, before I knew I could
do it with portupgrade. I got tired of seeing ports held
by user & had trouble trying to force some of them to
upgrade, so I took out the bsdpan portion from:
From /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
HOLD_PKGS = [
'bsdpan-*',
]
Now I can't do anything with cpan, including installing some
ports. Here's the output from cpan:

Below are the ports that got upgraded when this whole fiasco
started, due to my ignorance about perl, cpan, and ports and
their interdependencies:

Any help greatly appreciated on how to fix this.

the bsdpan-PathTools is how the ports are named when not building from
the ports collection (from what i understand). my only solution (and it
shouldn't take too much time) is to deinstall it and build from ports.
