freebsd-ports/lang/perl5.12/pkg-descr

Perl is a language that combines some of the features of C, sed,
awk and shell.  See the manual page for more hype.  There are also
many published by O'Reilly & Assoc.  See pod/perlbook.pod for more
information.

Upgrade this to perl5.6.0 for _knowledgeable_ folks in STABLE who really want it. This is still marked FORBIDDEN as there may be all sorts of horrible incompatabilities with the perl5 in "base", but folks who are willing to override this and experiment are welcome. Consider this to be only partially supported. I'll happily commit patches and fixes, but I don't want to answer too many questions.
