 Good question. In my mind, there are at any one time only three differnt 
 versions of perl:
 
   1) The base perl in FreeBSD 4.x (currently 500503)
   2) The port lang/perl5 (currently 500601)
   3) The port lang/perl5.8 (currently 500802)
 
 I'm not entirely sure at what version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker the PREFIX 
 problem got solved in, but I do know that the version distributed with 
 1) is broken, and the versions distributed with 2) and 3) are not.
 
 But I do agree with your point - the comments and the code should agree. 
 Patch incoming :)
