I know some OSes have a "right way" to install perl modules from CPAN.
Does OpenBSD have some similar methodology?
Check first in ports for packages, P5-*

If it's not there, you can make your own package:

More serious question about ports. What about needing a newer version of
a perl module than is in packages?
I ask because I had an application that needed a newer version.
When I looked into it, a lot of non-perl stuff was tied into it that was
beyond my ability to work with.
Admittedly, this isn't the case very often.
But, I like the idea of creating my own package instead of just using
CPAN. I hadn't thought of that.
