Well, I haven't built Perl for about 3 years so things may have changed but before that I had no problems with building Perl5 (and before that Perl4) from scratch. It only took a long time answering all the questions about the architecture and then everything just worked. Though the way Perl is imported into the FreeBSD tree is way more convoluted (and actually Perl from -current won't cross-build from 4.0). > Perl4 is no longer bmaked in our source tree. It can be pulled from an old cd or from O'Reilly or I can look in my archive. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
