Actually the whole point here is that these packages don't come
from the ports tree at all. 'bsdpan' is 'FreeBSD' + 'CPAN' -- that
is, it's a FreeBSD modification to the usual perl module handling
-- ie. the CPAN.pm stuff -- which records all of the files etc.
installed by a CPAN module in the package database. Because of this,
and unlike most other Unixoid systems it's easy to use pkg_delete to
cleanly deinstall a perl module on FreeBSD.
However 'bsdpan' packages don't have a package origin, and hence cause
a few problems with certain functionality of the FreeBSD package handling=
tools. In general if a perl module is available from the ports tree
then you should install it that way rather than the CPAN way.
As for where the packages are: strip off the 'bsdpan-' part of the
name. strip off the trailing version number and dash, then replace
the other dashes with slashes and optionally slap a '.pm' on the end.
So:
bsdpan-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.001 ---> IO/Compress/Zlib
You'll find that under /usr/local/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.8.8/
Or you can just type 'pkg_info -L bsdpan-IO-Compress-Zlib-2.001'
Cheers,
Matthew
