Using CPAN to overwrite a package | initially installed as a FreeBSD port would be a mistake though: | better to pkg_delete first and install the package from scratch with | CPAN afterwards. Well, if I've though of using CPAN too, but it was not the way I was seing this. CPAN is more perl module aware than perl distribution (aka ports). And I'd rather submit a PR than using CPAN :) --=20 Mathieu Arnold
