The following reply was made to PR bin/6539; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Garrett Wollman <wollman@khavrinen.lcs.mit.edu> To: sjr@home.net Cc: FreeBSD-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: bin/6539: bmake version of perl5 available Date: Sat, 9 May 1998 16:03:34 -0400 (EDT) <<On Wed, 6 May 1998 21:22:38 -0400 (EDT), sjr@home.net said: > ftp.freebsd.org:/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/bmake-perl5-1.1.tar.gz > This tar file contains: > BSD.usr.dist.patch - a patch that adds the perl directories, and > contrib/perl5 - contains the perl5 code, and > usr.bin/perl5 - contains the makefiles. What *I'd* really like to see would be a <bsd.perl5.mk> system template, and a modified version of MakeMaker which referenced it. Then not only would this not be such a nightmare each time a new version of Perl comes out, but it would also make it much more convenient to create Perl5 bindings of important system functionality (e.g., a FreeBSD:: set of modules which interface to our libraries). -GAWollman -- Garrett A.
