Porting all of CPAN is probably not necessary, and the way it is currently being done seems to work. If you port depends on a module, then it should be in the ports tree as well, but all of CPAN...
In my experience since stuff in CPAN generally "Just Works"(TM) on OpenBSD and is as simple as `perl -MCPAN - e "install <module>"` I really can't see any compelling reasons for everything to be put into the ports tree. Tim Donahue
