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
un-clogged so we can grab all those p5 things.  ;)


Thank you again,
