The actual problem is how Perl 5.6.1 was configured for FreeBSD.
`grep config_args gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl/config.SH-elf.i386' for
details. The problem seems to be due to -Dprefix=/usr/local as
opposed to the right -Dprefix=/usr.
The following minimalistic patch should fix it (i386 version only),
though the proper fix is to re-configure and re-commit all such files:
