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).

As before, this is a "guru only" port. If you know what you are
doing, go ahead and use it. If not - HANDS OFF!
Perl 5.6.1 will be committed to "base" FreeBSD in a week or 2.
really want it.
This is still marked FORBIDDEN as there may be all sorts of horrible
incompatabilities with the perl5 in "base", but folks who are willing
to override this and experiment are welcome.
Consider this to be only partially supported. I'll happily commit
patches and fixes, but I don't want to answer too many questions.
Sorry!
FWIW, checkout of these things took 5+hrs, staying on the local
.freebsd.org net w/o hitting the 'net at all.

(This is not by any means the complete list but just the ones I've noticed
recently.)
/usr/bin/perl a while ago. It works with 5.003 and 5.004-tobe.
I can't test it on freefall (I don't have a setuid script to play with)
but it works at home. I'll test on thud later.
Every setuid script found on a partition mounted "nosuid" will not be executed
and "Permission Denied" will be displayed.
It won't be in soo-to-be-released 5.004 because it is not a FreeBSD speciific
problem but it will be dealt with in 5.004_01 (maintenance release).

PLISTs.
Note: I know that this is going to break some symlinks and/or .so
includes, I will back some of these out as I run into these during
package building.
all the COMMENTs! No package names, no version numbers, no "this is
absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.
Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)
Phew! 238 ports modified!

[The rush to 5.003 couldn't integrate this, so here it is]
The following is a patch for perltrap.pod, from 5.003 (also 5.002).
It integrates the latest version of my simple 425traps
document. 425traps demonstrated, with examples, all of the traps
which have been discovered and sent to me, which have bitten
folks making the transition from perl4 to perl5. It also gave
an example for each one, including all of the existing perl4
traps in perltrap.pod.
As always, if you discover something that isn't documented in
one form or another in here, and isn't an official (or at least
reported) bug, drop me a line with it. Also, when or if any
of these is ever formally declared a bug, I'll take it out.
