This is a pain in the ass and I don't know if it's a FBSD CPAN problem or a CPAN dependency problem but it does happen, and it's really annoying. I don't have a fix but a workaround. It will always hang on the same test, so just ^C and "look" into the module. remove the test and go back to the cpan shell. It won't bother you again for the whole CPAN session.

This person says the problem is in BSDPAN::ExtUtils::Packlist - maybe someone could help the maintainer solve this problem! It is _really_, _really_ annoying. I sadly don't have the time right now and only deal with problem from time to time, but if someone has the time it would be really great to fix!!!
It's already been fixed in 3 of the 4 perl ports:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=162151
The remaining port (lang/perl5.8) hasn't been modified in 7 months, and I believe it may well be deprecated and removed fairly soon.
Cheers,
Matthew
