Sorry, but I am afraid that if you insist on not using Perl modules installed via ports this means you cannot expect any ports depending on Perl modules to work. It might be fixable in this particular instance (did you provide a patch in your PR? thought so...), but you cannot expect it to work in general. Cheers, \Anton. -- We're going for 'working' here.
