Hey all, I'm under the understanding that it's somehow preferable to install perl modules via the ports system, rather than the straight off perl -MCPAN -e shell system I normally use. Apparently the only advantage is this avoids the "no origin recorded" errors (although portupgrade can't handle BSDPAN modules). On that note, is there any sort of CPAN equivalent that will, upon trying to build a module will try the ports tree first, and failing that, will function as a wraparound to the CPAN module? -- "A single death is a tragedy.
