I agree, having perl available in /usr/bin is one of the nice points of FreeBSD. I see strong reactions against removing the /usr/bin symlinks in 5.x. Good, presumably they will be allowed to stay. But I would also like to keep them for 6.x. As others have pointed out, removing those symlinks would create a lot of hassle for the users, for very little gain.
