From the distribution README:
Perl is a language that combines some of the features of C, sed, awk
and shell. See the manual page for more hype. There are also two Nutshell
Handbooks published by O'Reilly & Assoc. See pod/perlbook.pod
for more information.

This port will not work on FreeBSD 2.0, nor will it work on earlier snapshots.
This is due to a bug in vprintf in the C library. On FreeBSD earlier than
2.0.5, setuid scrips may be insecure or may not work.
