>Description:
If perl is not installed on a system when running make index in /usr/ports, significant time is spent building the temp index files for each category before the entire process fails.
The supplied patch performs a quick check first that will fail if perl is not in the system path and executable prior to performing the bulk of the work.
>How-To-Repeat:
attempt to make index without perl
