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 --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 7 Priory Courtyard Flat 3 PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Ramsgate Kent, CT11 9PW --------------enig22ACD9DCD5C20DAB52DD372E Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.2 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFF3y+q8Mjk52CukIwRCP52AKCJ0v0oAOqQWuoM5ISopmT6oe0fQwCffm1w hBvbVd3wDoNhYvFcSoc4o70= =VIkX -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enig22ACD9DCD5C20DAB52DD372E--
