I don't claim to understand "/usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk" very much, but it 
seems to me that we have an undesirable interaction between `USE_PERL5' and 
`RUN_DEPENDS' there.

    .if defined(USE_PERL5)
    BUILD_DEPENDS+=         perl5.004:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5
    RUN_DEPENDS+=           perl5.004:${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5
    .endif
            
If one is trying to install a P5- module (eg: p5-CGI_Lite), this
causes the build to look for "/usr/ports/lang/perl5".

Now this shouldn't be necessary, as Perl5 could have been installed
and present in ${PREFIX}/bin/perl5.

Further dependency registration fails (seems to be looking in
"/usr/ports/lang/perl5") again instead of "/var/db/pkg/.../" to register
its dependencies. 

Thus make install fails --- is there something I'm doing wrong?

Running 3.0-current as of a week back.
