Apache perl modules, and each compiled and installed/de-installed apparently
correctly.
As a side effect of the dynamic PLIST, we no longer need to to have separate
-static and -shared PLISTs. It's now easier than ever to make a perl5
package for NetBSD :)
Supports CGI running via a no-overhead Perl interpreter embedded into
httpd, httpd.conf configuration in Perl, and even embedding Perl into XSSI
documents via <!--#perl sub=""--> (without modifying mod_include).
