When freefall's /usr/local took a hit, I assumed that I could simply
reconstruct the shells, a couple of useful utilities like emacs and
gmake, and do the rest at my leisure.  I had no plans to bring back perl,
as it's migrated to /usr/bin.  However, packages like ftpmail and majordomo
had other ideas as they depended on /usr/local/bin/perl outright.  This
caused bad lossage, as the failing scripts simply dumped incoming list
mail onto the floor.  Oh Well!

ftpmail and majordomo have been updated the use the new perl location.
/usr/local/bin/perl may exist again someday, but only as an experimental
or testing version.  Please do not count on finding it in that location!

Thanks.
