Got a couple of issues with perl5.006 that just went into -current
in terms of perl5 ports.
The first one is relatively straightforward, being a simple
versioning problem. Following patch fixes that (OSVERSION
may be slightly wrong, but it corresponds to what I have
in my up-to-date src tree):

The next one is a little more obscure, at least to my limited
perl knowledge.
Take a perl5 port at random.. I chose converters/p5-Convert-UU
I had to make the following (kludgy) hack to the PLIST to make
things package properly:

Notice how things appear to be being installed in a mach/ subdirectory,
as opposed to the previous {i386,alpha}-freebsd/ subdirectories.
Also, when making the port, it complains about not being able to
find pod2man (to make the manual pages), even though it successfully
does this elsewhere.
This appears to be affect most (if not all) of the perl5 ports.
Any solutions for this problem?
