I haven't been using BSDPAN because I heard that that method doesn't work with portupgrade and friends. So far I've been following the porter's handbook for my own local ports overlay. Is there a recommended method for managing perl modules? I was hoping cpan2dist via CPANPlus would do the trick but it looks like it hasn't been subclassed for ports yet: http://search.cpan.org/~kane/CPANPLUS-0.076/ I know Gentoo has g-cpan for this purpose and debian has dh-make-perl. Is BSDPAN dead simple and I've just been missing out? -- Ian Tegebo
