Having to install the entire ports tree and figure out the naming scheme for p5 stuff (or figure out the naming scheme and pkg_add -r) is really a whole bunch of no fun, but it's become a big part of my post-install dance with FreeBSD. Astonishment level is pretty high when you realise some modules aren't there, but most are, and Perl is. Installing stuff via CPAN that doesn't see CGI.pm will upgrade your entire Perl installation to get the CGI stuff, I seem to recall, and that's just bad.
