I removed all .cpan from the system 
That does not seem to be the problem.

This error line from cpan shell may provide a clue:
cpan > r

Checking the file:
Errno.pm has the following header:

#
# This file is auto-generated. ***ANY*** changes here will be lost
#

package Errno;
our (@EXPORT_OK,%EXPORT_TAGS, at ISA,$VERSION,%errno,$AUTOLOAD);
use Exporter ();
use Config;
use strict;

"$Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'}" eq
"amd64-freebsd-6.1-release" or
	die "Errno architecture (amd64-freebsd-6.1-release) does not match executable 
architecture ($Config{'archname'}-$Config{'osvers'})";

$VERSION = "1.10";
$VERSION = eval $VERSION;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);

It looks as though Errno.pm does not get updated even with 
# Portupgrade -Rf perl5.8.

What creates this file?
