The idea is that Perl already has this Configure thing, which is supposed to set it up to build properly on FreeBSD, so if there are changes that we needed to make to the build process, they should go in Perl. People do occasionally build it on its own, whether because of a new version, a bug fix that hasn't been merged into FreeBSD's version yet, changed build options, or to work with development versions. -- Christopher Masto Senior Network Monkey NetMonger Communications chris@netmonger.net info@netmonger.net http://www.netmonger.net Free yourself, free your machine, free the daemon -- http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
