freebsd-ports/lang/perl5.12/pkg-message
Anton Berezin 45dd233be8 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.

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.
Note that use.perl port is specific to a given perl installation. If
you later upgrade the perl port, run use.perl port again to update the
symbolic links and /etc/make.conf.
At any time you can also type
use.perl system
if you wish to revert back to the system version of perl.
