You need to install the appropriate perl module - in this case Math::Random.
FreeBSD ports contain many of the perl modules. Most are in the format
p5-Foo-Bar. To find them, go to /usr/ports and type "make search
key=Math-Random" (for example.)
pauls at utd59514# ls /usr/ports/math/p5-Math-Random
p5-Math-Random/ p5-Math-Random-MT/ p5-Math-Random-MT-Auto/
p5-Math-Random-OO/ p5-Math-RandomOrg/
So, cd to /usr/ports/math/p5-Math-Random, make install clean and your
problem will be solved.
