Attached is a quick patch to get ports/land/perl5 to build libperl.so, 
needed by many things.

patch -d /usr/ports < pat.perl

after every cvsup against ports (cvsup ports will undo the patch).

How far back has FreeBSD support shared libs? This patch blind says 
4*|5* build libperl.so and everything else builds libperl.a

Grrr - I just realized this no longer builds libperl.a.  Oh well, maybe 
someone might find it useful.
