If I do a perl -v I find that I'm using: This is perl, v5.8.2 built for i386-freebsd I wonder why CPAN is trying to use the wrong PERL. I know that PERL 5.005_03 ships with FreeBSD 4.9, but I've installed the newer perl and used the command to switch PERL to use the PORT install instead of the SYSTEM install. I guess I have to research why CPAN tries to use the SYSTEM perl. I'll report back what I find. Thanks for helping me to uncover what's happening.
