It says that it depends on a port called 'BSDPAN-5.6.1.tar.gz', but as far as I can tell, this doesn't exist anywhere. Or anything like it. This was when I tried to do a make in /usr/ports/dev/perl5.

I just downloaded perl from freebsd.org's ports collection: -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 6692885 Mar 27 22:17:11 2002 perl-5.6.1_1.tgz ...and plan to pkg_add it locally.
