I have the default perl pkg that comes with the install. It does not
have some of the pkgs I like to use.
Is there a pkg that installs a bunch of perl modules or do I just have
to do it thru cpan?
pkg search perl outputs 463 items... but I didn't notice anything that
looked too promising?
I'd recommend to install your own perl version, and then install the
missing modules with cpan. Compiling perl is easy. When using the
system provided cpan you always mess with system directories, and the
pkg manager can get confused.
Not sure what you meant where you talk about:
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . When using the

I guess your saying that the cpan that is onboard after install is a
bad idea.
Yes (imho).
Its been a good while since I built perl... and that was on linux, so
does that not use system folders? You just put it somewhere out of
way of the main line stuff like /usr/local?
Exactly. Either /usr/local or even better something like
/usr/local/perl/5.18.1 So you can have different perl versions.
To build perl do you have a pretty good idea of what development
tools I need to have installed. I believe there is a set that is
recommended but my googling isn't finding it.
The usual C toolchain, developer/gnu should be a good starting point. Or
sunstudio.
