Hi tobez@, perl@,
I found a couple of problems/oddities with the FreeBSD port for Perl
5.8.4 using FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE. I want to know if you are aware of
them and/or are working on a fix. I'll file a PR with more information
if you want.
It's not building:

*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/perl-5.8.4/ext/MIME/Base64.
*** Error code 1
---snip---
I solved this temporarily by removing the check of whether dowarn is set
in work/perl-5.8.4/ext/MIME/Base64/Base64.xs. This does not seem to
happen when I install in an empty, clean 4.10-RELEASE sandbox however.
:-X Not sure why. But I do see by Googling that others have/had the same
problem. Anyway, yes, I did completely uninstall any perl ports before
building ports/lang/perl5.8 here. And the OS/jail where I cannot build
perl5.8 does have fresh include/share/libdata dirs without old, stale
files.
2) After installing it and running use.perl port, perl does not run
anymore if you set LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
# perl -v
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1: perl: Undefined symbol "PL_exit_flags"
By moving /usr/lib/libperl* out of the away, or unsetting
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, this issue is bypassed.
Are these issues known? Are a number of LD_LIBRARY_PATH using users
using old libperl without knowing it? Should they? Etc.
