I've also been able to remove the /usr/bin/perl stuff, *but* I was not able to build one of the ports, because it had the requirement of perl 5.00x and refused to build with perl5.6x. Of course, now I can't remember the details so perhaps it is possible to bypass these problems. I think setting the PERL_VERSION in /etc/make.conf is what broke it, but I could be wrong. -doug
