Regarding the perl and tk/tcl ports debate-- perhaps I'm being naive here, but would it help to have all (and only) ports installed under /usr/ports? This would be somewhat similar to /usr/contrib in certain other systems. All "standard" ports would go into /usr/ports; other add-ins would go in /usr/local; anything needed for the base system would go elsewhere. The ports team would be responsible only for the stuff under /usr/ports. Symbolic links (such as /usr/bin/perl5 --> /usr/ports/bin/perl5.4321) would give the user more flexibility. -Greg
