In years past when this has come up before (when Perl went from 4.x to 5.0,
etc.) the main reason it "takes so long" to import it into the main source tree
is because Perl's build environment is SO CONVOLVED. It takes somebody who
Knows What They're Doing(tm) lots of time to convert the Makefiles so that they
can be used with our system make(1) instead of relying upon GNU make. Blame
Perl, not reluctance upon the BSD side.
That said, I'm sure that if 5.60 was "b-maked" it would help the process out
just a teenee bit.
Just my $0.02.
