Just for future reference: There is no such thing as Koha Community edition.
There is Koha and then there is Harley and LLEK. So you are working with
Koha. Not to be ugly, but this has become a problem over the last 6 months
or so.

The "problem" is not with CPAN but rather that the installer is giving you a
list of Perl modules required which are not installed. You now need to look
through the list and then do "cpan <module 1> <module 2> .... <module n>"
where <module 1> is something like Foo::Bar and so forth. You should install
these either by sudo or as root.

This is normal for Perl applications.

Search the list archives, I think a few have used FreeBSD.

Kind Regards,
