Joel, I successfully installed a Koha 3.2 beta on FreeBSD, but I can't say I'd recommend it. It was a bit of a struggle getting it set up. You can see the instructions I wrote (which seem to work) on the wiki here: http://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Koha_on_FreeBSD The text document you copied in looks like the output from the Koha installer rather than error messages from CPAN, incidentally. A lot of those can be installed by running cpan, as chris_n describes, but you will need to install some from FreeBSD ports. All of this should be covered in the link I provided above. There will still be a few error messages at the end, but they are non-fatal. I ultimately decided to switch to Debian because of the awesome Debian packages that larsw and robin put together.

Hi All,
We are currently attempting to install Koha 3.0.6 (Community edition) on a Development server.
Our Library's Systems Support & Development Officer is currently trying to install Koha 3.0.6 on a Development Server which is running the FreeBSD v7.2 Operating System, and has come across a slight problem with CPAN.
At present, the install is unable to proceed because CPAN is unable to find the pre-requisite files. See attached document [Pasted_Data_467e.txt]. Is there away to set CPAN to be able to automatically download and install these files during the process of installing Koha, so that each file and its dependencies don't have to be downloaded and installed separately from the CPAN website?
Also, on a final note, is there any library's out there which have Koha 3.0.6 installed on a server running the FreeBSD Operating System? If so, I would greatly appreciate hearing from you about any problems your library may have had during the process of installing Koha.
Many thanks in anticipation!
Kindest Regards, Joel
