 ports: please close, unreproducible without more information, additional 
 examples on a currently supported system.
 
 Tried everything I could to reproduce the problem, the links submitter 
 gave point to a blog that suggests that system is out of ram.
 
 I don't have any 7.0 systems anymore, so I can't test on that.
 Current :Tar is 1.72, I installed that, and deleted all the DBI files 
 and port installed them just fine, SA installed just fine.
 
 suspect one of two things:
 #1, since 7.0 isn't officially supported anymore, something went wrong 
 somewhere.
 #2, perl is corrupted, and/or there are more then one copy of ::Tar 
 installed, or the ::Tar depends on pm's that are missing or corrupted.
 
 Since SA has been running for years on 7.0 systems in the past, I 
 suspect that perhaps the perl installation got corrupted.
 maybe a portupgrade -Rr perl.
 maybe run perl-after-upgrade (see man page) in case some old 5.8.8 stuff 
 is laying around.
 
 Still sounds like perl is corrupted.  maybe tracing ::Tar back, and see 
 if it is missing some dependencies.
 (portupgrade -R ::Tar)
 
 Either case, I don't see anything wrong with the SA port on perl 5.8.8, 
 5.8.9, 5.10 on Freebsd 7.3, 8.1, on i386 or amd64.
