cpan in FreeBSD 9.0

1

I have a FreeBSD 9.0 installation which works fine. The only problem is cpan. I tried forums.freebsd but didn't help much.

Here is some cli output:

[user ~]$ cpan --version
Cannot load ExtUtils::MakeMaker: Can't locate ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.12.4 /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4/mach /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.12.4 /usr/home/atma) at (eval 9) line 1.

[user ~]$ 

When I try to install p5-ExtUtils-MakeMaker via ports it fails. Perl seems to work fine.

Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

UPDATE: Then I try to isntall ExtUtils-MakeMaker

what is the error when you install MakeMaker? – arved – 2012-10-04T09:37:13.163

I added the output. – atmosx – 2012-10-05T17:06:36.897

Do you have a compiler or development tools installed? Something like build-essential? – Mike – 2012-10-08T23:00:03.343

Yes. I manage to solve this issue by using 'portmanager' to re-install perl! – atmosx – 2012-10-12T17:26:46.947

Solved by forcing perl re-install using portmanager.
