Net::LibIDN

[Odhiambo Washington]

I hope there is a kind soul who could tell me what to do.
I have installed the libidn port (devel/libidn) because
it's required by Net::LibIDN perl module, but the module
still fails to install, thusly:


cpan> install Net::LibIDN                                                                                              R
unning install for module Net::LibIDN

This module requires GNU Libidn, which could not be found.
