 * Hmmm, I'm thinking that it might make sense to have a couple of things
 * to make perl ports work better.
 * 
 * PERL ?= ${PREFIX}/bin/perl
 * 
 * and
 * 
 * HAS_PERL_CONFIG
 * 
 * which can be used to generate
 * 
 * do-configure:
 * 		@ cd ${WRKSRC}; ${SETENV} ${MAKE_ENV} ${PREFIX}/bin/perl Makefile.PL

I don't understand what HAS_PERL_CONFIG is supposed to do.  Do some
perl packages come with this Makefile.PL file that is actually not a
Makefile but is a configure script?

 * and also be used to make sure that perl5 exists on the system before
 * trying to build 

That's what *_DEPENDS are for.

 * 		   (and also enables NO_P5_JUNK-like functionality
 * easily).

What's that?
