Well, as a FreeBSD newcomer, I used the CPAN module quite recently,
around the point I was bringing my 3.3 CD-ROM install up to 3.4 stable,
and found it reasonably friendly (albeit in the "choosy about its
friends" sense.) Naturally the first thing I had it update was itself,
but after that it was easy to grab quite a few modules I needed for a
Squid support script I was working on. Give it another chance?
