Some FreeBSD issues
I have been using Linux for 3 years now, and I think I am getting enough knowledge (and confidence) to try some more 'traditional' unix variants. I installed FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT. I have a couple of questions for the time being:

1) Frequently when I need to compile software packages they can't find existing headers and libraries in /usr/local/include and /usr/local/lib respectively, and have to be manually added as CPPFLAGS or LDFLAGS env. vars etc. for "configure". I think these are standard locations, but why those libraries cannot be found?

2) My current linux distribution supports colors on the console. I know there are some packages allowing FreeBSD to have similar properties, but I forgot which one and where to get one.

Any ideas?

plxload

PLXLOAD(1p)						User Contributed Perl Documentation					       PLXLOAD(1p)

NAME

       plxload - show what files a perl program loads at compile time

SYNOPSYS

	   $ plxload

DESCRIPTION

       This program is used to show what modules a program would load at compile time via "use".  Because this installs an at-exit handler and
       then uses Perl's -c flag for compile only, it will not find modules loaded at run-time.	Use the Devel::Loaded module for that.

EXAMPLES

	   $ plxload perldoc
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Exporter.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/strict.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/vars.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux/Config.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Getopt/Std.pm

	   $ plxload /usr/src/perl5.005_54/installhtml
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Carp.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Exporter.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/auto/Getopt/Long/autosplit.ix
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/strict.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/vars.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Pod/Functions.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Getopt/Long.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/i686-linux/Config.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/lib.pm
	   /home/tchrist/perllib/Pod/Html.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/Cwd.pm
	   /usr/local/devperl/lib/5.00554/AutoLoader.pm
