What FBSD version are you running?
Did you download the cvsup ports-base?

Subject: Updating Ports Index
For some reason, I can't seem to update the index for the ports
database:
idfubar# cd /usr/ports
idfubar# make index
Generating INDEX-5 - please wait..perl: not found
perl: not found
Done.
I also tried attempting my first 'portsdb -Uu' after a successful
CVSUp,
but am running into some problems:
idfubar# portsdb -Uu
Updating the ports index ... perl: not found
/usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70:in `write': Broken pipe
(Errno::EPIPE)
from /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70:in `puts'
from /usr/local/sbin/make_describe_pass2:70
failed to generate INDEX!
portsdb: index generation error
Can anyone explain why I might be getting these errors? My
installation
was a minimal install, do I need to install something else for the
'make
index' command to work properly?
