Modified files:

pkg-plist
Added files:
lang/perl5 pkg-message
lang/perl5/files use.perl
Log:
Unforbid the port for the use of general FreeBSD public.
Compile perl with BSDPAN support, both -current and -stable. The
version of BSDPAN used here coincides accidentally with the one present
in the -current system perl, but is installed in a different place.
Provide a script, use.perl, to facilitate switching of the perl used by
default between the system perl and this port. Also print a message
describing the usage of use.perl (this works for the port and for the
package built from it). The switching to the port version is done by
removing /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/suidperl (they both have link count
>1, so this is reversible), and making them to be symlinks to the
corresponding binaries in $PREFIX/bin. Also, assignments of the correct
values of PERL_VER, PERL_VERSION, and PERL_ARCH are appended to
/etc/make.conf. Last, NOPERL=yes is appended to /etc/make.conf, so that
the changes made will survive system upgrades from source. The
switching to the system version is more or less a reverse of the process
described above.
Set and use PERL_ARCH which is independed from the one used by the
system perl.
Fix the port for post-malloc.h -current.
Fix a small bogon when PREFIX was used in pkg-install (PKG_PREFIX should
have been used instead).

----- End forwarded message -----
This does not mean there are no problem left with perl upgrade from
ports. In particular, expect trouble if you install this port and then
install various p5 *packages* (not ports).
This version also does not solve the dreaded PRIV vs SITE problem for
ports that install newer versions of perl modules already in the perl
distribution. I am going to solve this last problem for this port in a
few days by changing the default order of perl's search path (the
default value of @INC array).
If you wish to run more modern perl than the one we have in the base
system, you should consider using this port, at least until 5.6.1 will
be imported to the base system.
Cheers,
=Anton.
