Ah, thank you for reminding me --
that was going to be my last-ditch effort,
install all the p5-* ports to kingdom-come. ;)
Guess I'll go git it running...

Of course one other way of 'fixing' this has come to mind:
Have FreeBSD install perl-5.8.x as its 'system' instead of 5.6.x. ;)
Now that Steve Jobs is thru with his spiel, the Internet ought to be

Thank you again,
