scanning through the CPAN modules list doesn’t help a lot …

are these modules contained in some other package?

testdeps (the script itself, I never managed to do it through make) does
understand the parameter “-fix” to do it all by itself. tryp ./sbin/testdeps
-fix mysql (or whatever you are using as dbm)

interesting way to scan for CPAN modules. Let me introduce you into another
way:
perl -MCPAN -e shell;
Search for Modules:
i /CGI::Cookie/
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/Metadata
Database was generated on Wed, 21 Aug 2002 19:52:04 GMT
Module id = CGI::Cookie
CPAN_USERID LDS (Lincoln D. Stein lstein@cshl.org)
CPAN_VERSION 1.20
CPAN_FILE L/LD/LDS/CGI.pm-2.81.tar.gz
MANPAGE CGI::Cookie - Interface to Netscape Cookies
INST_FILE /usr/lib/perl5/5.6.1/CGI/Cookie.pm
INST_VERSION 1.20
You want to install CGI.pm (or try “install CGI::Cookie”). Same goes for the
other modules.
If you see a message that states that there is a newer version of CPAN,
install it first - otherwise it may try to update your perl as well which
sometimes breaks the system.

yeah - bruce pointed me at that on IRC about two minutes ago … 
never seen that before, but it looks like it will be useful. thanks

I’d rather see whether these modules are included in any others then
build an appropriate NetBSD pkgsrc package for them rather than use the
CPAN installer … that way I don’t need to do anything special on any
of the other machines I need to install this on …

Sheesh, you get this far and haven’t encountered the Creamy Goodness that
is CPAN? Shame on you boy. ( see also http://search.cpan.org/ ).

As mentioned on irc, FreeBSD (at least) comes with bsdpan, and I think
that NetBSD does as well. The end effect is that modules installed via
CPAN then show up with the standard package management tools (pkg_*).
No need to reinvent the wheel.
