I bounced a bug report to Larry Wall and received an automated
response (partially included below). I suppose the point is that any
additional ones should go directly to perl5-porters@nicoh.com. Is
anyone already on the list and can scan for fixes/patches that affect
building perl5 on FreeBSD? I can watch the list until 5.002 comes
out, but I think it would be better if someone who actually knew
anything about perl could provide feedback to that list. :-/

[This is a recording. Last revision was the 5th of April.]
Hi, I got your message, whatever it was. If you have a Perl question,
and I don't answer right away, try comp.lang.perl. If you have a
Perl 5 question, try mail to perl5-porters@nicoh.com. If you've sent
me a Perl 5 bug report, I will probably forward it to that list.
I wish I could send a personal reply to everyone but I'm usually pretty
swamped. (The rest of the time, I'm totally swamped.) I do at least
READ all my mail. Eventually.
[...]
If you're working with Perl 5 you might want to join the mailing
list perl5-porters@nicoh.com to get the most recent patches and
documentation. Known problems include:
The kit is missing Andy's configuration notes.
s/// leaks memory
pad_findlex() is missing its prototype and can coredump (fix available)
some systems wrongly attempt to re-byacc perly.y
some compilers abhor the static declaration of emit_split in x2p/walk.c
Tk needs some fixes to work with 5.001
"Unofficial" patches for some of these can be found at
ftp://ftp.cis.ufl.edu/pub/perl/src/5.0/perl5.001.patches
5.001 might be considered a beta for 5.002. Expect 5.002 very soon.
