I had read where it was better to use ports than cpan
modules. I had originally used cpan because of updating
the virus data files for f-prot, before I knew I could
do it with portupgrade. I got tired of seeing ports held
by user & had trouble trying to force some of them to
upgrade, so I took out the bsdpan portion from:
>From /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf
HOLD_PKGS = [
'bsdpan-*',
]
Now I can't do anything with cpan, including installing some
ports. Here's the output from cpan:
Cannot load ExtUtils::MakeMaker: Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7/mach
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.7 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6

Below are the ports that got upgraded when this whole fiasco
started, due to my ignorance about perl, cpan, and ports and
their interdependencies:

Any help greatly appreciated on how to fix this.
