Is there an option somewhere to deinstall Perl after installing a port that specifies "USE_PERL5_BUILD=yes"? This is a PITA on jails and other systems with minimal software and strict disk limits. Applications using USE_PERL5_BUILD add non-trivial time and overhead to installations and upgrades, then don't remove the build dependency afterwards. Most of these apps don't even appear to need Perl but for an operation or two that could have been done in a BASE language like awk or sh. Anyone know of a workaround, I mean other than manual pkg_delete? Roger Marquis
