+From the distribution README:
+
+Perl is a language that combines some of the features of C, sed, awk
+and shell. See the manual page for more hype. There are also two Nutshell
+Handbooks published by O'Reilly & Assoc. See pod/perlbook.pod
+for more information.
+
+(I Beleive from recent discussions on the lists that this port will not
+work on FreeBSD 2.0, nor will it work on earlier snapshots. This (if my
+memory serves me) is due to a bug in the system library (vprintf) - MarkM)
