- redirect output from h2ph to /dev/null [1]; - fix File::Path insecure file/directory permissions [2]; this resolves CAN-2004-0452 (http://vuxml.freebsd.org/c418d472-6bd1-11d9-93ca-000a95bc6fae.html); - for OSVERSION < 500036, create symlinks in /usr/bin not only for perl and suidperl, but also for a2p, c2ph, find2perl, h2ph, h2xs, perlbug, perlcc, perldoc, pl2pm, pod2html, pod2latex, pod2man, pod2text, s2p, and splain; perl and suidperl are still enough for more recent FreeBSD versions [3]; - clean up created symlinks upon deinstallation [4]; - try to cleanup symlinks created by older versions of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8, during both installation and deinstallation [5]; - added support for DISABLE_BSDPAN environment variable [6]; - be explicit about use.perl usage after installation of 4.X systems [7]; - respect __MAKE_CONF partially (the build-time value is used) [8]; - fix threaded build - respect PTHREAD_CFLAGS and PTHREAD_LIBS [9]. - use.perl is now the same as pkg-install is now the same as pkg-deinstall; apart from the changes already mentioned above, this is a shell script now; - use.perl's logic is also simplified in several ways [10]; - fix a BSDPAN bug [11]. Outstanding issues: Module::Build support for BSDPAN, SU_CMD support (PR 70831), PR 64963 (partially), and anything else that I forgot.

Unforbid the port for the use of general FreeBSD public.

Compile perl with BSDPAN support, both -current and -stable. The version of BSDPAN used here coincides accidentally with the one present in the -current system perl, but is installed in a different place. Provide a script, use.perl, to facilitate switching of the perl used by default between the system perl and this port. Also print a message describing the usage of use.perl (this works for the port and for the package built from it). The switching to the port version is done by removing /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/suidperl (they both have link count >1, so this is reversible), and making them to be symlinks to the corresponding binaries in $PREFIX/bin. Also, assignments of the correct values of PERL_VER, PERL_VERSION, and PERL_ARCH are appended to /etc/make.conf. Last, NOPERL=yes is appended to /etc/make.conf, so that the changes made will survive system upgrades from source. The switching to the system version is more or less a reverse of the process described above. Set and use PERL_ARCH which is independed from the one used by the system perl. Fix the port for post-malloc.h -current. Fix a small bogon when PREFIX was used in pkg-install (PKG_PREFIX should have been used instead). Reviewed by: markm, joe
