I think we should add a target to make world that checks for the existence of an old base install of Perl and removes it if it exists. As a general principle, if we do things like remove code during -current development then make world needs to cater for that change. The idea of make world is that what you get at the end of it is a pristine install of a snapshot of FreeBSD from the current branch. The bootstrap target was originally added for this purpose, to deal with issues during releases i.e. to bootstrap from one version of current to another. It's got misunderstood along the way to mean bootstrapping tools needed early in the build process. I'd like to resurrect it's original meaning and add code to clean out old versions of Perl. Paul.
