Subject:   Acquiring CPAN Modules

What is the best way to acquire CPAN modules? If I run CPAN, and actually 
install a module, and then later run pkgdb I receive an error message 
stating:

 	Missing Origin: bsdpan-(module-name) Skip this for now? To skip it
 	without asking in the future, please list it in HOLD_PKGS

The modules seem to work correctly however. Several modules that I want, I 
cannot find in the FreeBSD Ports collections.

Does anyone have any suggestions, or is using CPAN the only way to get 
Perl modules installed?

Thanks!
