A google search on these problems, reveals lots of other people experiencing similar problems with no solutions. There seems to be something seriously wrong with these tools, are there any solid alternatives? Jason

  Glad it works for you now!
  
  For the archives:
  
  It's really, really important to follow the instructions in the previous article exactly.
  
  If cflow.pm doesn't work, nothing else will work. And I mean *nothing*. :-)

  I found that if you do a
  cd /usr/ports/net-mgmt/p5-Cflow
  
  and
  
  make WITH_FLOW_TOOLS=yes all install
  
  it tends to work, if you leave out the make WITH_FLOW_TOOLS=yes then flowdumper does not work.
