This same problem plagued phoenix back when it was called phoenix. The
problem lies within the way that perl 5.005_03 handles thingies.

The bento log shows the build failing because of an inadequate
File::Spec version, but this is irrelevant: even if File::Spec were
updated, the version of perl would still lead to an unrunnable phoenix.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a necessary consequence of perl
5.005_03 being part of 4-STABLE.

And, for what it's worth, the port is already marked broken for perl <=
5.61:

.if ${PERL_LEVEL} < 500601
.undef NO_IGNORE
BROKEN= Mozilla Firebird only supports the ports versions of Perl.
BROKEN+=If you have installed a Perl port, and are getting this message,
BROKEN+=please make sure you have given the command \'use.perl port\'.
.endif # ${PERL_LEVEL} < 500601

# Adam

p.s. The irony runs deep. I just finished reading the Dark Phoenix saga
like 10 mins ago.
