I have already re-built perl and, this being CURRENT, the only perl I
have is the one installed from the port (5.6.1_15). I tried 'use.perl
port' just to be sure, but it made no difference.

I'm now suspicious that I have some residual files (perhaps from V4)
hanging around on this system and causing me problems. I may just REALLY
flush out all of the perl stuff and re-install once again.

Thanks!
