It goes something like this: $ su # cd /usr/ports/perl5 # make all install clean /usr/ports and each subdirectory immediately under it has its own Makefile, enabling you to simply install whole chunks of the ports collection with one command. You could equally, for example, "cd /usr/ports; make all install clean" and build the whole shebang.
