Actually, I think people have been fairly restrained on this one, and
we're building a clear consensus.  :-) Thanks for gritting your teeth
on this one and opening the discussion to the widest community
possible, and for listening to all this input.

As someone who uses both FreeBSD *and* Perl, I want whichever version
of Perl that I want.  I want to be able to use my desired version of
Perl without dealing with workarounds or hacks.  This is the same way
I want to use Apache or PHP, for example.

This means installing from a port, and not having to worry about
possible conflicts with the base system.  #3.
