FreeBSD a64.jeff.tk 5.4-STABLE FreeBSD 5.4-STABLE #2: Wed Aug  3 17:22:27 PDT 2005     root@a64.jeff.tk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/COMPAQ  amd64
>Description:
The irc/xchat2 port disables Perl support on amd64 platforms, because in 2003, it used to fail to build, see:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2003-August/002312.html
Commit message:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=105294+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/cvs-all/20031130.cvs-all

However, Perl support in xchat2 now works flawlessly on amd64 (at least on my system), so the check should be removed. A small patch to the Makefile is included.

Thanks,
-Jeff
