Unforbid the port for the use of general FreeBSD public.
Compile perl with BSDPAN support, both -current and -stable. The
version of BSDPAN used here coincides accidentally with the one present
in the -current system perl, but is installed in a different place.
Provide a script, use.perl, to facilitate switching of the perl used by
default between the system perl and this port. Also print a message
describing the usage of use.perl (this works for the port and for the
package built from it). The switching to the port version is done by
removing /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/suidperl (they both have link count
>1, so this is reversible), and making them to be symlinks to the
corresponding binaries in $PREFIX/bin. Also, assignments of the correct
values of PERL_VER, PERL_VERSION, and PERL_ARCH are appended to
/etc/make.conf. Last, NOPERL=yes is appended to /etc/make.conf, so that
the changes made will survive system upgrades from source. The
switching to the system version is more or less a reverse of the process
described above.
Set and use PERL_ARCH which is independed from the one used by the
system perl.
Fix the port for post-malloc.h -current.
Fix a small bogon when PREFIX was used in pkg-install (PKG_PREFIX should
have been used instead).

Installation of Perl distribution is finished. Please note, that since
|
|
|
|
|
Perl is also in the base system, this distribution will not be used by
|
|
|
|
|
default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you want this version of Perl to be used by default, please type
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
use.perl port
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Assuming that use.perl script (which was installed with the rest of the
|
|
|
|
|
Perl distribution) can be found in your PATH (you might have to type
|
|
|
|
|
`rehash' first, depending upon a shell you use), this action will
|
|
|
|
|
replace /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/suidperl with symbolic links to the
|
|
|
|
|
versions of these binaries in the Perl distribution. This action will
|
|
|
|
|
also put some variables into your /etc/make.conf file, so that newly
|
|
|
|
|
installed ports (not packages!) will use new version of perl, and the
|
|
|
|
|
system upgrades from the source will not overwrite the changes made.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Update to 5.8.6. Also:
- redirect output from h2ph to /dev/null [1];
- fix File::Path insecure file/directory permissions [2];
this resolves CAN-2004-0452
(http://vuxml.freebsd.org/c418d472-6bd1-11d9-93ca-000a95bc6fae.html);
- for OSVERSION < 500036, create symlinks in /usr/bin not only for
perl and suidperl, but also for a2p, c2ph, find2perl, h2ph, h2xs,
perlbug, perlcc, perldoc, pl2pm, pod2html, pod2latex, pod2man,
pod2text, s2p, and splain; perl and suidperl are still enough for
more recent FreeBSD versions [3];
- clean up created symlinks upon deinstallation [4];
- try to cleanup symlinks created by older versions of lang/perl5 and
lang/perl5.8, during both installation and deinstallation [5];
- added support for DISABLE_BSDPAN environment variable [6];
- be explicit about use.perl usage after installation of 4.X systems
[7];
- respect __MAKE_CONF partially (the build-time value is used) [8];
- fix threaded build - respect PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS [9].
- use.perl is now the same as pkg-install is now the same as
pkg-deinstall; apart from the changes already mentioned above, this
is a shell script now;
- use.perl's logic is also simplified in several ways [10];
- fix a BSDPAN bug [11].
Outstanding issues: Module::Build support for BSDPAN, SU_CMD support (PR
70831), PR 64963 (partially), and anything else that I forgot.

you later upgrade the perl port, run use.perl port again to update the
