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

+Installation of Perl distribution is finished. Please note, that since
+Perl is also in the base system, this distribution will not be used by
+default.
+
+If you want this version of Perl to be used by default, please type
+
+ use.perl port
+
+Assuming that use.perl script (which was installed with the rest of the
+Perl distribution) can be found in your PATH (you might have to type
+`rehash' first, depending upon a shell you use), this action will
+replace /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/suidperl with symbolic links to the
+versions of these binaries in the Perl distribution. This action will
+also put some variables into your /etc/make.conf file, so that newly
+installed ports (not packages!) will use new version of perl, and the
+system upgrades from the source will not overwrite the changes made.
+
+At any time you can also type
+
+ use.perl system
+
+if you wish to revert back to the system version of perl.
