When I search for perl, I find /usr/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl5 /usr/bin/perl5.6.1 /usr/bin/suidperl, but running perl gets me "perl: Perl is not installed, try 'pkg_add -r perl'" Following the earlier discussions about pkg_add, I tried to manually find the perl.tgz package on ftp.freebsd.org, but didn't find one. Is there a prebuilt package of perl for sparc64 anywhere, or if is there anything I need to add in my /etc/make.conf to build perl with the rest of world? Failing that, how can I add perl to a -current sparc64 box? Should I just download the latest perl stable source code and bash through a manual install?
