--- Comment #2 from parv <parv.0zero9+freebsd at gmail.com> ---
I am not the maintainer.

Module Crypt::CBC::PKDF::pbkdf2 ...

https://metacpan.org/source/LDS/Crypt-CBC-3.03/lib/Crypt/CBC/PBKDF/pbkdf2.pm

... uses Crypt::PBKDF2. So Crypt::CBC needs Crypt::PBKDF2 module (and its
dependencies by extension).

Gert may opt to not upgrade and/or break up the module in their custom install
to remove Crypt::CBC::PKDF::pbkdf2 module.

The method of breaking of core perl & modules has made a sane, usable Perl
install on some Linux distributions horrendously painful to use as is; requires
many hoops to jump to make things work. I sincerely hope that FreeBSD project
does not join them in that quest.
