 No.  This bugreport should include the proper bmake style
 makefiles, and any other changes, removals, etc. that would be
 necessary for perl5 before it goes into the main system.
 
 Same goes for the previous Tcl upgrade and bind upgrade requests
 you sent.
 
 Otherwise I think the pr's might as well be closed...  At least
 this one, since it is painfully obvious that we've got a rather
 old system version of Perl (although it doesn't bother me
 personally in the least :).
