I'm not sure about MFC'ing this, since 4.X installations have Perl in the FreeBSD base-system. I don't have a -STABLE installation nearby, but if anyone feels like testing the changes I made to 5.0 and backporting them to 4.X, I do not have any sort of objection. I would only suggest waiting at fair period for this to settle in, since I know of some cases that the style of the scripts I wrote might need fixing. If anyone wants to MFC the changes, please wait at least a few weeks before committing anything to STABLE. There isn't any compelling reason why these should be merged *now*.
