As far as I can tell, there isn't a version of BSDPAN that works with the base perl (ie. 5.005.03). The BSDPAN modules aren't available =66rom CPAN -- seems the only source is MASTER_SITE_LOCAL, eg: ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/local-distfiles/tobez/ and there isn't an appropriate version there. If you install one of the perl versions from ports, you'll get the matching BSDPAN version automatically. You don't need to do anything special to use it, just install perl modules from CPAN in the normal way: # perl -MCPAN -e shell All BSDPAN does is subclass some of the ExtUtils modules to add some glue between the ports/pkg system and CPAN, so you can use the pkg_* tools on perl modules and so forth. Although generally I find it's preferable to use the perl modules available in the ports tree whenever available, as portupgrade(1) can't deal with BSDPAN stuff.
