# Ok, this is surely right, but may I demonstrate:

bash-3.00# cd /usr/ports/security/amavisd-new/
bash-3.00# make install
===>  amavisd-new-2.1.0,1 requires perl 5.8.2 or higher.

# ok so go I to perl5.8

bash-3.00# cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/
bash-3.00# make install

#
# hundreds lines of output during building
#

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.

#
# this ist not true on FreeBSD 5
#

If you want this version of Perl to be used by default, please type

  use.perl port

#
# This is the necessary line to modify /etc/make.conf which amavisd-new
# port reads in.
#
# Some more pkg-message lines
#
# Users new to FreeBSD may not read all the pkg-message output, simply trying
# perl -v which results in the expected output and they will go further to
# build amavisd-new which result in:

bash-3.00# cd /usr/ports/security/amavisd-new/
bash-3.00# make
===>  amavisd-new-2.1.0,1 requires perl 5.8.2 or higher.

but perl -v works as expected.

So my idea: Give some hint in amavisd-new which may be the wrong place or fix 
up the perl ports to give a correct pkg-message for FreeBSD whithout perl in 
the base distro.
