Installing Perl5 not working

[Kaya Saman <kayasaman%gmail.com@localhost>]

Hi,

this is my first time with NetBSD and so far I have 2 hours experience 
with it :-)


I managed to get NetBSD 6.0 installed on my Sun Fire V210 machine and so 
far it seems to be running very well, through net install using the 
SPARC "jumpstart" method as the machine doesn't have a CDROM.


My issue now is that I'm very new having never used NetBSD before and so 
I'm trying to get used to things.


I've currently gone through here:

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/pkgsrc/getting.html#getting-first

http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-boot.html#chap-boot-pkgsrc

To get pkgsrc installed, which I did by:

ftp URL/pkgsrc /tmp
tar -xzvf pkgsrc.tar.gz -C /usr

as mentioned in the guide.


If I try to use: pkg_add though I get the error:

# pkg_add perl5
pkg_add: no pkg found for 'perl5', sorry.
pkg_add: 1 package addition failed

I have managed to install some packages like this:

/usr/pkgsrc/devel/m4

then typing:

make install clean

-- ok this is similar to what I'm used to with FreeBSD Ports though I 
don't know if correct for NetBSD.

I tryied doing the same thing with Perl5 and unfortunately got an error 
in the build:

    Making CPANPLUS (all)

Would it be possible for someone to help me understand how to get this 
installed?


Oh, btw I am using the 'stable' branch of pkgsrc.
