There were some build issues, but you'd have to ask Mark Murray about them (I note that building in /usr/ports/lang/perl5 in -current fails). It probably will not end up in -stable (at least not before there is a 3.0.0-"stable" :-). -- Zach Heilig -- zach@gaffaneys.com A horse without a nose... never wins.
