Aye, there's the rub: root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # make -DBATCH > make.log ./configure: /usr/local/bin/perl: not found configure: error: Perl 5.006 or better is required root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # Which closes the circle back the perl problem: root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # perl -v perl: Command not found. root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # whereis perl perl: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.30/perl/man/man1/perl.1.gz /usr/ports/devel/git/work-default/git-2.30.0/perl root@pelorus:/usr/ports/devel/autoconf # It looks like perl isn't installed, but also isn't recognized as a dependency that needs to be compiled. The existence of libs and man but no bin seems odd. At this point I'm baffled. Must I install some version of perl manually from ports?
