[ic] Install problems

[Cliff Addy]

I'm trying to install 4.8.5 on a FreeBSD 3.x system.  I'm seeing tons of
errors like

   "/usr/bin/pod2man:   bad option in paragraph 143 of
    pod/ic_howto_cvs.pod: ``-k'' should be [CB]<-k>"

I also see errors such as 

   "BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at
    blib/lib/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel/Worksheet.pm line 21."

and at the end I get 

   "Bundle summary: The following items seem to have had installation
    problems: IO::stringy Spreadsheet::WriteExcel"

Are these critical errors?  How can they be fixed?
