buildlink.mk file can replace the use of USE_PERL5: it defines all of the
same perl variables as bsd.pkg.mk, adds a dependency on perl>=${PERL5_REQD}
and conditionally includes bsd.perl.mk. It also creates a buildlinkified
Config.pm that makes the local include/library search path include
${BUILDLINK_DIR} instead of hard-coding ${LOCALBASE}. There's more to be
done to make this more useful in strongly buildlinkifying a package, but
it's useful now as-is in weakly buildlinkifying a package.
directly against -lperl when built. Combined with the previous update of
perl to add ${LOCALBASE}/lib to the rpath when creating shared
libraries/modules, these two changes make using mod_perl.so (ap-perl) more
painless. All perl shared modules now contain interlibrary dependencies to
the shared libraries they need. Instead of needing (at least on ELF):
LoadFile !/usr/lib/libm.so
LoadFile lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd/CORE/libperl.so
...
# Any other libraries needed by perl shared modules need to listed
# with LoadFile here.
...
LoadModule perl_module lib/httpd/mod_perl.so
AddModule mod_perl.c
you'd need only the last two lines as the mod_perl authors intended.
I've tested this patch for many weeks now, successfully loading and using
the p5-Apache-ASP module as my test bed, and I haven't noticed any problems
with normal perl usage.
Also comment the Makefile slightly better.
modules) about -Wl,-R. We cause -Wl,-R/path/to/libdir in LIBS settings
to now get propagated correctly to the link command for shared modules.
The rpath flag is also silently coerced to start with -Wl,-R or -R
depending on the contents of ${LDDLFLAGS} to deal with either cc or ld
being invoked.
* Ensure that shared objects/libraries created by perl Makefiles include
the correct run-time library search path by also including the local
libraries directories. For example, shared objects are linked on ELF
platforms with "cc -Wl,-R/usr/pkg/lib -L/usr/pkg/lib", and not just
"cc -L/usr/pkg/lib" as before.
/usr/local/scripts and forces the scripts to be installed there if it
exists. We override this by explicitly setting "scriptdir" to
"${PREFIX}/bin". This should fix the problem noted in pkg/14050 by
Brian Stark <bpstark@pacbell.net>.

- Re-adding ${LOCALBASE}/include and ${LOCALBASE}/lib to the local compiler
search paths,
Other changes include:
- Migrating the setting to not install man3 pages from patch-ab into the
package Makefile so that they aren't installed across all pkgsrc platforms.
- Better document SYSLIBPATH.${OPSYS}.
perl mess I created a year ago and making this a vanilla perl installation
again, and explicitly setting the system library path so that /usr/local/*

The installed perl library now also includes CGI.pm-2.752. The www/p5-CGI
package installs in to ${PERL5_SITEARCH} so there is no conflict with the
"standard" CGI.pm.
it is updated not to have the perl-mk dependency.
This braindead nature of pkgsrc to register all dependencies recursively
into binary pkgs *will* be fixed.
to install things like "open.3" and "lib.3" which confuse users. Perl
ships with a documentation tool, "perldoc", for this purpose; create a
MESSAGE indicating that it should be used instead. (Perl still installs
command line program manual pages in man1.)
* Integrate bsd.perl.mk into the perl5-base build where it should have been
from the beginning. The separate perl-mk pkg makes binary packages of
perl-mk completely useless[*]. Older perl builders will not break, since
<bsd.pkg.mk> contains fallback definitions that are evaluated at pkg
build time.
=====
[*] bsd.perl.mk is tightly bound to the version of perl that is installed.
The version name "perl-mk-1.1" is completely useless as a binary pkg,
since keeping multiple binary versions of perl on a FTP server means
that one of the perl-mk's will get clobbered.
However, putting the current pkgsrc PERL5_DIST_VERS in the perl-mk pkg
is also a problem, because that doesn't necessarily reflect the
installed version of perl. Snarfing the installed version at perl-mk
build time would be even uglier, since you could not then walk the tree
without perl being installed.
The cleanest solution is to integrate bsd.perl.mk into the perl5-base
pkg, and let those who have not upgraded perl yet use the runtime
definitions in <bsd.pkg.mk>.
the plugging of several memory leaks, fixes to the regular expression
engine, the addition of a Unicode character classes, better support for
64-bit platorms, and updates of many modules in the base Perl Library.

Also update p5-Data-Dumper, p5-Devel-DProf, and p5-Devel-Peek to the
latest versions distributed with the perl-5.6.1 sources, and libperl to
5.6.1 to match the perl package.
included in the perl executable. We need this to make the upcoming
xerces-perl package working.
This hack should be made obsolete by gcc-3.0, which will have a libgcc.so.

NOPIC and SunOS support may be broken; someone else with the necessary
resources should test and possibly fix these cases.
