Hi there,
I think you should change the subject line of this thread. Because your
problem is setting up faad on FreeBSD, not the Perl code, isn't it?
CPAN is the repository of Perl modules available. We include some of
them for some platforms. But as your LMS is running fine, this question
should be answered already.
Which leaves us with the question about faad:

Would the default faad work? I think you'd only need the patched version
for some edge cases I don't remember (maybe online streaming related?).
What kind of players are you using anyway?

The binary probably is called just "faad", not "faad2". Did you search
for that as well?

We don't include binaries for 64bit FreeBSD.

Well, are those libraries available or not? I think building the patched
version would be a statically linked version. It shouldn't depend on
external files. But using the default faad you might need to install
those binaries, too.

Would that file play on a different system? Could it be copy protected
or something?

Those binaries have nothing to do with CPAN. They're totally independent
from the Perl code.
I think you'd better start a thread with information about the failing
build process, with log files and everything. And you might be better
helped in a FreeBSD forum...
