vlink does NOT seem to be compiled by the port installation process. You 
need to compile it explicitly yourself as a second step.

No, you found files named:

compile.pl              mod_perl_tlink.pl       tlink.pl
config.h.in             mvctl.c                 vlink.c
configure               syscfg.in               vlink.pl
cpan_local_install      testcgi
mod_interchange         tlink.c

Either go into this directory and compile vlink, or use the perl script 
tlink. The makecat process just copies one of these files to your 
cgi-bin and renames it foundation, or whatever.


Interchange is a swine, in many ways. I run it myself for several 
clients, on FreeBSD. If you need more help, maybe mail me off-list 
becaus this is interchange, not FreeBSD. It's also a swine on Linux.
