Subject:   perl5 is needed to build kernel, why the a make.conf option NOPERL5 ?

Hi !

How to resolve/address this ? ....

/etc/make.conf has the following knobs:
#NOPERL=	true
#NOSUIDPERL=	true

Some ports still need perl5 from the ports collection.
So I set these options and removed perl5 completely from /usr/bin,
/usr/share and /usr/libdata ...

What happened now ...

a) Can't compile a kernel without perl, because makedevopts.pl needs
   perlt.

b) The perl 5 port for -current isn't compileable. Fails building.
   BTW, since when we are not able to compile perl5 ????? What
   happened with FreeBSD ? ;-)

What is your recommendation for FreeBSD 3.0 ?

Use both perl5 in the system AND perl5 from the ports collection
for building and installing other ports ?

BTW, the perl5 port doesn't compile and install on a -current
system by default, because it's in the base system.

Question. Is this ok ? What about the other ports, that usually
install themselves into a local directory structure under site_perl.

Well, seems a bit tricky. What are your recommendations ?

     What gives you 90% more speed, for example, in kernel compilation ?
