That would be darn too long not to install on my own (unless 7.1 is
coming out in a month)!


Not being one of the folks working on the port, I can't really say what the hold up is, or that those folks should drop everything else and work on this, but I must say that I find it pretty saddening to not have the port on such a major hunk of software over 6 months after it was released. It doesn't need to be the default perl installed by the system, so that should not be the hold up.

When I talk to some linux folks they just laugh that we don't have a perl 5.10 yet. It is embarrassing, actually, to go out and evangelize FreeBSD when there are delays like this.
