I've no idea what the official line is, but perl5 built fine for me (from ports on current) and installed fine too. It took we awhile to rename and relink things so that I will always get perl5 though.. I did that because of some wacky library mismatching on libnet something ... Anyway I guess I'll re-cloak now, but put in my vote for an ln in /usr/bin to /usr/local/bin/perl , linked to whatever the latest version is (That's about how I did it, 'cept I copied perl to perl4 too) -adric (I might've used gmake, can't remember..)
