libgcc.a isn't linked "whole archive" into the perl executable on newer
NetBSD systems (>1.5.x). Newer NetBSD systems have libgcc_pic.a linked
into shared libraries, so this hack isn't needed. This change was tested
by building and testing textproc/xerces-p, a C++ perl5 module that uses
functions in libgcc.a.
we install them into a private directory under the the normal Perl
installation and configure Perl so that site-specific Perl man3 pages
are installed into a private directory within site_perl. This avoids
manpage conflicts between 3rd-party modules, the standard Perl library,
and other packages.
The changes implement some unfinished work that is alluded to in the
MakeMaker.pm module by allowing "installsiteman{1,3}dir" to be set
during the configuration process and are used to provide default values
for INSTALLSITEMAN{1,3}DIR during the Perl module build/install process.

changing the default module/library search path to have site_perl come
before the standard directories. In other words, the previous search path
on an i386 was:
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl
but it is now:
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/i386-netbsd
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1/i386-netbsd
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/5.6.1
The rationale for this is that when we install a module that is newer than
one in the standard library, the new module goes into the site_perl
directory as it's an add-on module. However, we can't use the newer module
without modifying either the scripts of the perl environment to find the
newer module explicitly because of the order of the library search path:
the site_perl directories come after the standard directories. The normal
solution is to directly replace the module in the standard library with
the newer module. However, this isn't really on option when installing
via pkgsrc because the older module files are owned by the perl package.
By placing the the site_perl directories before the standard directories,
newer modules that we install via pkgsrc are simply found before the older
ones in the standard library.
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.

include:
- 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/*
doesn't appear anywhere.
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.
