Subject:   CPAN hanging on ExtUtils::MakeMaker even if installed

I'm attempting to upgrade Request Tracker manually.  (I know that
there is a port, but I'd like to preserve my data, thus I'm doing this
"the old fashioned way."  :) )

When I run the "make fixdeps" step described in the directions, it
attempts to load ExtUtil::MakeMaker from CPAN -- even though its
already installed.  This wouldn't be so bad, but it actually hangs and
uses 100% of CPU time (according to "top") like its in an infinite
loop.  This is the output just before it hangs:

[...cut...]

I've found references to this on the web.  They seem to indicate that
its something with the FreeBSD port and that its fixed in version
6.63.  Unfortunately, only version 6.62 is in the ports collection.

Anyone know what to do to get past this?

Thanks in advance,
Jaime
