A question that arises from reading that pr is why service doesn't include 
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/sbin in its PATH, if it does your problem would 
probably dissapear.

But your problem shouldn't have existed in the first place.

I have no /usr/bin/perl symlink, in the pure-ftpd port directory I do:

make extract
head -n1 work/pure-ftpd-1.0.36/configuration-file/pure-config.pl.in
#! @PERL@


After installation the shebang reads:
#! /usr/local/bin/perl

and I can use service to start or stop the daemon without any hacking.
