This was a way to avoid breaking the huge number of perl scripts that had: #!/usr/bin/perl as the first line. If perl simply moved to /usr/local/bin, this would have broken a LOT of stuff people were doing, so it was decided to put a link in /usr/bin. The port now has an option to control this, but it is still there by default: USE_PERL "Rewritelinks in /usr/bin" on -- R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
