I see you solved your problem, but I'll offer you a bit of empowering wisdom. Perl doesn't ship with a ton of modules that are commonly used. However, adding them can be super trivial. For instance, you could have accomplished this entire task by doing: perl -MCPAN -e shell And in the shell: install LWP It's similar in concept to /usr/ports, except that it doesn't keep the metadata on your filesystem.
