No i dont know anything about c++ or perl, ok i know what a class is :P For me is not realy about perl it self its about the way it get used as a tool to help build things. For me freebsd is build as a base that can handle everything designed for it. If application need something to help it build, it should belong to the base and not to a external perl tool. So if want to (install) buy a car and go to the (ports) shop i dont expect to bring my (perl) wrench to the (ports) shop . > Bad analogy. A better one would go something like this.
