+Installation of Perl distribution is finished. Please note, that since
+Perl is also in the base system, this distribution will not be used by
+default.
+
+If you want this version of Perl to be used by default, please type
+
+ use.perl port
+
+Assuming that use.perl script (which was installed with the rest of the
+Perl distribution) can be found in your PATH (you might have to type
+`rehash' first, depending upon a shell you use), this action will
+replace /usr/bin/perl and /usr/bin/suidperl with symbolic links to the
+versions of these binaries in the Perl distribution. This action will
+also put some variables into your /etc/make.conf file, so that newly
+installed ports (not packages!) will use new version of perl, and the
+system upgrades from the source will not overwrite the changes made.
+
+At any time you can also type
+
+ use.perl system
+
+if you wish to revert back to the system version of perl.
