Apparently, On Thu, Sep 12, 2002 at 01:46:54PM -0700, Jens Haeusser said words to the effect of; > Yesterday I download the latest ISO from Jake's page > (http://people.freebsd.org/~jake/sparc64/sparc64-20020624.iso.bz2), > installed it on a Ultra 5 and 10, cvsuped -current and built and installed > the latest world and kernel (the 9 hours it takes to do this sure make it a > more daunting proposition than the 1 hour it takes my P-III boxes).

I suppose that the last set of packages were built before perl was removed, so there's no perl package.
