Aye, there's the rub:

root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # make -DBATCH > make.log
./configure: /usr/local/bin/perl: not found
configure: error: Perl 5.006 or better is required
root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # 

Which closes the circle back the perl problem:

root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # perl -v
perl: Command not found.
root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # whereis perl
perl: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.30/perl/man/man1/perl.1.gz /usr/ports/devel/git/work-default/git-2.30.0/perl
root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # 

It looks like perl isn't installed, but also isn't recognized as a
dependency that needs to be compiled. The existence of libs and
man but no bin seems odd. 

At this point I'm baffled. Must I install some version of perl
manually from ports?  

Thanks for reading!
