I am trying to install some CPAN perl modules though and they seemed to install correctly but when I try to use them perl can't find them. I ran " perl '-V:install.*' " and a lot of variables are pointing to directories under /usr/local/*. I checked and I don't have anything in /usr/local/, the directory is completely empty. I'm somewhat familiar with Linux so it seems to me that this directory should have something in it. Shouldn't it? FreeBSD 4.4 Perl5 Trying to install Net::Telnet Any help would be appreciated.
