In the last episode (Jul 25), karl agee said:
I am trying to install imwheel in my -current setup...ran make install in the port (updated yesterday) and it ran the compliation but bombed at perl. It sed:
Ha ha very ^ punny
su-2.05a# make install; make clean /usr/local/bin/perl: not found *** Error code 127
on my box perl is located
su-2.05a# whereis perl perl: /usr/bin/perl /usr/share/man/man1/perl.1.gz /usr/src/usr.bin/perl
I checked various files to see if I could edit anything but there was nothing obvious. Should I make a link to /usr/bin/perl?
Perl has been removed from -current, mainly due to the difficulty of keeping it as up-to-date as people want. People are sweeping through port Makefiles replacing ${PERL} with ${REINPLACE} (aka sed), and it looks like you hit one that they haven't done yet. You can set PERL=/usr/bin/perl in /etc/make.conf (or add the symlink), but eventually you'll want to install the perl port and blow away /usr/bin/perl and /usr/libdata/perl.
