 = How to create portfiles for CPAN Perl modules =
 
  * Audience: Perl users
- * Requires the following MacPorts perl ports: p5-list-moreutils p5-cpan-meta p5-module-depends p5-cpan-meta-yaml. Note that perl 5.22 is the Macports default version, you can install them as follows:
-{{{
-port install p5.22-list-moreutils p5.22-cpan-meta p5.22-module-depends p5.22-cpan-meta-yaml
-}}}
+ * Requires additional Perl modules (available as MacPorts perl ports: see step [#Step4:Getcpan2port Get cpan2port])

-=== Step 4: '''Create MacPorts directory ===
+=== Step 4: '''Get cpan2port ===
+Install using macports (will automatically install prerequisite Perl modules: p5-list-moreutils, p5-cpan-meta, p5-module-depends, p5-cpan-meta-yaml):
+{{{
+$ port install cpan2port
+}}}
 
+Or, from a system without macports:
 {{{
 $ mkdir ~/macports
 $ cd ~/macports
 $ curl -O https://svn.macports.org/repository/macports/contrib/cpan2port/cpan2port
 $ chmod u+x cpan2port
 }}}
+Then install the Perl modules (from e.g. CPAN or package manager of choice): [https://metacpan.org/release/List-MoreUtils List::MoreUtils], [https://metacpan.org/release/CPAN-Meta CPAN::Meta], [https://metacpan.org/release/Module-Depends Module::Depends], [https://metacpan.org/release/CPAN-Meta-YAML CPAN::Meta::YAML]
