When I tried to run sgmlfmt(1) tonight, after upgrading from the Perl that
came with FreeBSD (4.036?) to 5.001m, it gives me these errors and then
quits:
buk: {170} sgmlfmt

/usr/bin/sgmlfmt has too many errors.
Is this a bug in sgmlfmt or just Perl5.001 not being backwards compatible
with 4.036? At any rate, when I installed perl it made a link from
/usr/local/bin/perl (where I installed it) to /usr/bin/perl (where the
old FreeBSD version was). My fault for allowing it to, but now what am
I supposed to do? Tomorrow I'll have a look at either fixing sgmlfmt to
work with Perl5 or just rebuilding Perl4.036 from source... Any
suggestions?
