perl5 port based on perl-5.00401 distribution
> DISTNAME= perl5.004_01
> PKGNAME= perl-5.00401
>Description:
The perl5 port fails to compile - there is a makefile loop in
the perl5 distribution which results in perl5's Configure
script to loop endlessly in 'makedepend'. Use of gnumake
doesen't solve this problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
$ uname -rs
FreeBSD 2.2.1-RELEASE
$ cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5
$ make configure
...
[gets stuck up in an endless 'makedepend' loop]
>Fix:
Include this patch in the perl5 port -
