If I recall correctly this was brought up before ( at least one that I caught anyway ). I believe the bottom line was that perl5 needed to build ok with bmake. I also thought that someone had stepped up and made the needed changes. That was the last that I had heard. If I'm totally off base let me know, also there may be more to the story than just my short version.
