	and did you try this one to install as prerequisite for Net-LibIDN?

amber# make search name="libidn"
Port:   libidn-0.4.6
Path:   /usr/ports/devel/libidn
Info:   Internationalized Domain Names command line tool
Maint:  krion at FreeBSD.org
Index:  devel
B-deps: expat-1.95.7 gengetopt-2.11 gettext-0.13.1_1 libgnugetopt-1.2 
libiconv-1.9.1_3 libtool-1.3.5_2
R-deps: expat-1.95.7 gettext-0.13.1_1 libgnugetopt-1.2 libiconv-1.9.1_3


And perhaps then try to install your wanted perl module from ports 
instead of CPAN:

Port:   p5-Net-LibIDN-0.07_1
Path:   /usr/ports/devel/p5-Net-LibIDN
Info:   This module provides access to the libidn library
Maint:  domi at saargate.de
Index:  devel perl5
B-deps: expat-1.95.7 gettext-0.13.1_1 libgnugetopt-1.2 libiconv-1.9.1_3 
libidn-0.4.6
R-deps: expat-1.95.7 gettext-0.13.1_1 libgnugetopt-1.2 libiconv-1.9.1_3 
libidn-0.4.6


	Cheers,
