Login to your FreeBSD system. Since you installed the ports
collection, it's this easy:
cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5
su
make install clean
If you didn't install the ports collection, you're a naughty boy. Go
install the ports collection.
Then you'll find that /usr/local/bin/perl is in place and when you
type perl -v, you'll get some sort of useful message like
This is perl, version 5..q45123050238501497501958 ...
Hope that helps.
