Macports and CPAN

[Chris Janton]

Hi

Macports 1.8 - Snow Leopard

I have old PERL programs that use

  Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils

I cannot find an equivalent p5-xyz port to install.

If I attempt to install it using /opt/local/bin/cpan I get the following

cpan[4]> install Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils
Running install for module 'Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils'
Running make for W/WY/WYANT/Astro-satpass-0.025.tar.gz
Use of inherited AUTOLOAD for non-method Digest::SHA::shaopen() is  
deprecated at /opt/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/darwin-2level/ 
Digest/SHA.pm line 55.

line 55\cJ" at /opt/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/CPAN.pm line 359
	CPAN::shell() called at /opt/local/bin/cpan line 198


If I run /usr/bin/cpan and install Astro::Coord::ECI::Utils it works,  
and is now available to /usr/bin/perl

I would much rather keep my PERLs clean, using "/usr/bin/env perl" but  
that gets me in trouble.

any hints, suggestions, workarounds (besides simply using #!/usr/bin/ 
perl for that particular application)

Thanks.
