[Chicago-talk] FreeBSD. Ports collection vs CPAN?

[Ed Pigg]

Hi all.

I'm starting to build a FreeBSD 6.0 server for 
development/experimentation purposes. There are quite a few perl 
modules in the ports collection. What are the pros and cons of using 
the ports collection for adding/updating modules vs CPAN. On Mac OSX 
I've always used CPAN. Any thoughts or advise is welcome.
