this is for perl port...

supply -DDEBUGGING option to make when building/installing, along w/
"-g" to the compiler.  one way to do that is to edit /etc/make.conf
such that CFLAGS has "-g" assigned to it...

  # in /etc/make.conf
  CFLAGS= -O -pipe -g


...you can also edit the perl port Makefile if you like to include
both options.

mind you that perl5.6 port w/ "-DDEBUGGING" option alone didn't
build w/ the debugging support the last time i tried.  "-g" option
was necessary in addition.
