I came to a conclusion that using PERL_ARCH to substitute something
like i386-freebsd in the installation path names for non-perl
programs is a totally wrong idea. I haven't looked through the
commit logs, so I'm not too certain, but someone probably blindly
replaced i386-freebsd to %%PERL_ARCH%% in the plist when PERL_ARCH
was introduced.
For perl related programs, e.g. perl modules, %%PERL_ARCH%% wokrs
fine depending on the perl version on the system, and bsd.port.mk is
appropriate, I think.
The solution I used was to define something like the following in
the Makefile:
OS!= uname -s | tr A-Z a-z
PLIST_SUB= ARCH=${ARCH} OS=${OS}
and in the plist use %%ARCH%%-%%OS%%, instead.
Cheers,
Max
