Okay, so far what I've been able to figure out is:
cd /usr/ports/Mk
apply the following patch:
*** bsd.port.mk.orig Mon Jul 30 10:41:11 2001
--- bsd.port.mk Mon Jul 30 10:41:47 2001
***************
*** 862,868 ****
PERL_ARCH= mach
.else
.if ${OSVERSION} >= 300000
! PERL_VERSION= 5.6.1
.else
PERL_VERSION= 5.00502
.endif
--- 862,868 ----
PERL_ARCH= mach
.else
.if ${OSVERSION} >= 300000
! PERL_VERSION= 5.6.1
.else
PERL_VERSION= 5.00502
.endif
which will make your ports system know its 5.6.1 for installing Perl Ports
... and which allows lang/perl5 to know to install 5.6.1 ...
If you install lang/perl5 as:
'make LOCALBASE=/usr install', it will put it all into the regular
hierarchy, and, as Anton states, add 'NO_PERL=true' as appropriate ...
The only 'problem' ... if you have any perl modules alredy installed, you
appear to have to re-install those modules, but that is a small thing ...
