FreeBSD 4.7 and buildkernel perl5 references

[Sean O'Neill]

Just curious if anyone knows why the kernel source has references to both 
"perl5" as well as "perl" and if work is being done to make make the calls 
to perl more standard e.g. using either "perl" or "perl5" everywhere.

This isn't a problem but more of a one-time-annoyance.  Right at the 
beginning of the buildkernel stuff, the make runs "perl5" on a couple of 
things.  Further on it uses "perl" for other stuff.

On my system, I removed all the old FreeBSD perl stuff.  Apparently 
buildkernel doesn't include /usr/localb/bin as part of its path so it 
didn't find /usr/local/bin/perl5.  Basically, it failed.  Easy fix of 
simply adding a symlink of /usr/bin/perl5 to /usr/local/bin/perl.

Just curious if anyone else noticed this.
