I don't know of anything in ports to automatically merge CPAN dependencies and the ports tree, but I do know of portgen. http://man.openbsd.org/portgen > If there is no repository, you might want to take a look in ways to convert > Perl modules from CPAN into OpenBSD packages.

It gets you most of the way to submitting something to be included in the ports tree. I don't know that it will ever reach the point where it just pulls stuff directly off the CPAN, but I do hope that someday what's required to exist in the ports tree is fairly minimal. For now though, portgen will create ports for the module and any dependencies that you can then adjust for anything that was not detected automatically. > Another possibility is to use perlbrew instead. I do use plenv for testing things on multiple perl versions and with different perl modules, but generally if I want to run something for real, rather than just from my homedir, I'll make ports for the required modules. https://github.com/tokuhirom/plenv l8rZ, -- andrew - http://afresh1.com Unix is very simple, but it takes a genius to understand the simplicity. -- Dennis Ritchie
