 There is _some_ magic in bsd.port.mk, but it only deals with system vs. ports 
 Perl. Effectively the path is hard coded, so you don't gain much (anything?).
 
 In any case since /usr/bin/perl is a symlink to the real Perl we don't need 
 any magic. This path is always correct.
 
 If someone moves perl and doesn't fix the symlink that's their problem.
 Both versions will break in this case.
 
 N.B. I don't dislike your version, it's just that NOT patching 2 files 
 is a simpler option than patching 2 files i.e. 'if it 'ain't broke, don't fix 
 it'.
 
 Let's call it committers choice.
