Here's a patch that I posted to the list last week. All you need to do
is set "USE_PORTS_PERL= yes" in /etc/make.conf. Apply the following
patch in /usr/ports to modify lang/perl5/Makefile and Mk/bsd.port.mk.
Then perl5 will build and any p5-modules will also use the ports version
of perl.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or problems.
