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. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --/e2eDi0V/xtL+Mc8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAklpeUAACgkQ/opHv/APuIfomQCgtYlB7O7Hc405yWv4S3lHvZgo c50AnR1CTFZO7sGpJkO6DVZAu1KrZ1eJ =YxhN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --/e2eDi0V/xtL+Mc8--
