After reading the message subject and this paragraph, I'm not sure
what you're running, exactly. You mention Linux -- FreeBSD is not
Linux. You also mention PC-BSD. FreeBSD is also not PC-BSD (although
PC-BSD is based on FreeBSD). All the different *nixes can be
confusing, but clarifying your setup will make it easier for us to
help.

This seems to be an RT or PC-BSD -specfic question; this list is
not dedicated to either piece of software. You'll have better luck
asking in PC-BSD's support channels or on the RT-users' mailing
list, rt-users@lists.bestpractical.com.
Since RT is mostly Perl-dependent, I imagine you could get it
running (albeit with a little fuss), although PC-BSD isn't
explicitly supported by BestPractical. I'd recommend choosing an OS
officially supported by BP (like FreeBSD, various Linuxes, or
Solaris) -- many of these OSs have packages or ports of RT
available, as well, although compiling it by hand is often a better
choice for production servers.
> 2) What PERL version is included in this distro?
I'm sure they have Perl 5.8.3+, although I can't find anything on
their site to corroborate that. Again, you'll have better luck
asking PC-BSD.

Good luck!
