>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-980518-SNAP i386
>Environment:

	I did a fresh install of 3.0-980518-SNAP on my new PPro-based
        machine, and included Perl5 from the ports collection.  I have
        not had time to change the environment much, so it should match
        what anyone would get by doing an install off current.freebsd.org.
        Perhaps it is significant that I booted off the 2.2.6 CD to do
        the install, although all I did was use FTP as the install media.

>Description:

	Any attempt to run Perl5 gets an error message about not
        being able to find some library (libnet-something, I think).
        Unfortunately I managed to fix the error and lose the error
        message before typing this up.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Install the snap.  Include Perl5.  Try to run 'perl -v'.

>Fix:
	
	I just went into the perl5 directory in the ports source,
        and remade it.  It seems to be working fine now.

        Note: This weekend is my first attempts to do a FreeBSD
        install, and I'm starting with 3.0 because I'll be very
        interested in SMP support.  Apologies if this isn't as
        detailed as it could have been...

        Also note: when replying, it might be better to send to
        gad@eclipse.its.rpi.edu, as that's still my main machine
        for doing email.
