Not quite the same. All the build{world,kernel} tools that used perl
were re-written in sh/awk/C so perl is not required to build/install
the base system (this was a prerequisite for removing perl). IMO, the
FreeBSD base system should come complete with the necessary tools to
build/install itself.

an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour.
