Is there an equivalent in FreeBSD? I can tell you it does exist as I recall reading about it. It is not enabled by default and I recall needing to enable it for something I was doing. I'm sorry I'm not any more help than this but others should be able to get you closer. A search of the list archives will probably help too as disabled by default is relatively new, IIRC. It changed either between 4.2 and 4.3 or 4.3 and 4.4 and generated a bit of traffic to the list as people wondered why their perl scripts quit working after upgrading.
