In any event, this is only an issue on -stable systems, and we want to know what 5.005.?? they have. The 'use.perl' command that comes with the ports puts it in /etc/make.conf, so we get it then. Besides, for practical purposes, zero is just as good as 500504; they're both older than Dick Clark. I'm not going to waste any time on this. I weighed all these issues, and I am satisfied with the result. -- AlanE (Alan Eldridge), who likes fixing weird distributed systems bugs.
