To build src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/usub, you must have a perl executable. If you don't have one (because you've never built perl on your machine), then you have to build one. If the one you've got is from a previous source level, then you *should* build one just in case. That's what a bootstrap procedure is all about. -- John Birrell - jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@freebsd.org http://www.cimlogic.com.au/ CIMlogic Pty Ltd, GPO Box 117A, Melbourne Vic 3001, Australia +61 418 353 137 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
