Perl 5.003_smth goes from ports to main tree -- packed as a big shared library, + a 8k /usr/bin/perl; and /usr/bin/vi and all other programs using Perl5's embedded features will use that shared lib. 2. Old and rusty perl4 goes to Attic. Why so many people don't like this to happen (for years) -- who knows?
