How about this:
Index: perl.c

RCS file: /home/ncvs/src/usr.bin/perl/perl.c,v

diff -u -u -r1.2 perl.c

if (errno != ENOENT)
err(1, "%s", path);
}
+ execve("/usr/local/bin/perl", argv, environ);
errx(1, "Perl is not installed, try 'pkg_add -r perl'");
}
Of course, it won't work if Perl was installed with a non-standard
PREFIX.
