Add two knobs:
WITH_PERL_MALLOC - to compile with perl's own malloc, as opposed to
the freebsd system malloc. Some might find this useful, since perl's
malloc is marginally faster in typical cases, and orders of
magnitude faster in degenerate cases. Use with care.
WITH_GDBM - to compile with gdbm support.
from normal rmdir'ing and unexec rmdir'ing, do a find | xargs rm for
generated .ph files, since those will differ in different versions of
FreeBSD just like .h files may not be the same.
2. Install.pm is broken in 5.6.1 and leads to the wrong .packlist
generation, which, in turn, breaks BSDPAN. Fix that.
3. Extend use.perl to patch /etc/manpath.config so that manpages for
modules installed by this and other p5- ports are be available.

Compile perl with BSDPAN support, both -current and -stable. The
version of BSDPAN used here coincides accidentally with the one present
in the -current system perl, but is installed in a different place.
Provide a script, use.perl, to facilitate switching of the perl used by
default between the system perl and this port. Also print a message
describing the usage of use.perl (this works for the port and for the
package built from it). The switching to the port version is done by
removing /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/suidperl (they both have link count
>1, so this is reversible), and making them to be symlinks to the
corresponding binaries in $PREFIX/bin. Also, assignments of the correct
values of PERL_VER, PERL_VERSION, and PERL_ARCH are appended to
/etc/make.conf. Last, NOPERL=yes is appended to /etc/make.conf, so that
the changes made will survive system upgrades from source. The
switching to the system version is more or less a reverse of the process
described above.
Set and use PERL_ARCH which is independed from the one used by the
system perl.
Fix the port for post-malloc.h -current.
Fix a small bogon when PREFIX was used in pkg-install (PKG_PREFIX should
have been used instead).

As before, this is a "guru only" port. If you know what you are
doing, go ahead and use it. If not - HANDS OFF!
Perl 5.6.1 will be committed to "base" FreeBSD in a week or 2.
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.
Sorry!
PLISTs.
Note: I know that this is going to break some symlinks and/or .so
includes, I will back some of these out as I run into these during
package building.
