 * I'm trying to compile perl5.003 from ports-current on this 2.1.6-R
 * system. 'make' works fine, but 'make install' fails. The odd thing is

Make sure you have the latest /usr/share/mk/bsd.port.mk,
bsd.port.subdir.mk, and /etc/mtree/BSD.local.dist if you want to
compile -current ports on the 2.1 branch.  (Actually, these three
files are updated on the 2.1 branch too so if you get it from an ftp
site or cvs as "-stable", it will be fine.)

 * the path searched for ( /usr/local/man/man3/), has two forward slashes:

That is not a problem, as "//" is equivalent to "/./" anyway.  (It is
actually an artifact of a undefined variable missing in-between.)

 *   unlink /usr/local/lib/perl5/man/man3/Socket.tmp
 *   Installation complete
 *   ===>   Compressing the manual pages for perl-5.003
 *   /usr/local/man//man3/Socket.3: No such file or directory
 *   *** Error code 1
 *   Stop.

It's probably because your bsd.port.mk is a little old.  It looks like
it doesn't understand the MAN3PREFIX definition (so the above should
be /usr/local/lib/perl5/man/man3/Socket.3) in the Makefile.
