I have managed to install and run this port on a fresh install of FreeBSD
and Perl 5.9. However i am still unable to use it on some of my production
servers. Some condition seems to trigger this problem when upgrading Perl
5.8.8 to 5.8.9. I am not sure what it is at this time. Since it works for
someone people i have taken out the explicit dependency on Perl 5.10 and
have instead added an note on this problem.
