Good question. In my mind, there are at any one time only three differnt
versions of perl:
1) The base perl in FreeBSD 4.x (currently 500503)
2) The port lang/perl5 (currently 500601)
3) The port lang/perl5.8 (currently 500802)
I'm not entirely sure at what version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker the PREFIX
problem got solved in, but I do know that the version distributed with
1) is broken, and the versions distributed with 2) and 3) are not.
But I do agree with your point - the comments and the code should agree.
Patch incoming :)
