The latest bento run on 5.0 is the first to build without perl present: previously, two of the portbuild scripts were written in perl, so I had to always pkg_add it into the chroot environment. Now that these scripts have been rewritten in C and I have stopped doing the pkg_add, it is exposing all the ports that should have a dependency on perl but currently do not.
At least 700 additional ports are breaking for this reason. Many of them are using ${PERL} to do patching-in-place, and these should be converted to use REINPLACE_CMD/USE_REINPLACE. Others use perl during the build and should set USE_PERL. Everyone please check http://bento.freebsd.org/errorlogs/5-latest/index-maintainer.html ASAP and fix the listed problems. Note that I am aware of two problems with the recent build: 1) Port builds are being killed after 1 hour, instead of after 1 hour *without output*. This is a bug in the aforementioned C code. 2) Ports that use PERL_CONFIGURE should automatically get a dependency on perl in bsd.port.mk. Apparently someone has submitted a patch for this already, but I don't immediately know where it is to test it. Kris
