This is one problem I'm seeing with several p5-ports...

|Signal SEGV at -e line 1
|        main::BEGIN() called at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00502/overload.pm line 0
|        eval {...} called at /usr/libdata/perl/5.00502/overload.pm line 0
|Abort (core dumped)

There are two others.  The first is that port man pages seem to be ending
up under /usr/share/perl (from memory) while the ports as expected
want them under /usr/local/.  The second is /usr/bin/perl5 does not
see (some?) modules installed under /usr/local/lib/perl/ ...

I am committed to getting /usr/bin/perl married to ports, but also noticed
that /usr/ports/lang/perl dies very shortly into the build.  

This is imprecise because I'm away from blood-squirting-edge current box at
home (which now panics at boot with yesterdays (9/21) kernel).  And
I am not at all sure where these should be fixed, perl seems to have
a pretty convoluted configuration scheme.

Wee!  I am reminded of the old adage, be careful what you wish for...

Russell
