Anyone here know, or have a friend that can help? 3) Notify relevant ports maintainers of the impending change. 4) Discuss where to present this during installation, implement. I know that I cannot fix this problem by myself, so I kindly ask for your assistance. I do not endorse the "parting out" of FreeBSD either, only to remove it's dependance on sendmail. I think we can all see how this is related to perl, where a lot of people are going to have it one way or the other, they might as well have it with the flexibilty and ease-of-use from using ports.
