It's trivial, and described in the jail manpage. Basically you just installworld into some directory, mount devfs and ports, then run jail(8) and build things "as normal". > Personally, I've never been able to build perl in a jail, I > hope that's just me. Yes, almost certaily it is something local to you. Mikhail's port was the only one failing to build in a jail (because the test tried to do something forbidden, namely renicing itself to negative priority) out of the ~16500 buildable ports, and in particular perl does build successfully.
