>Description:
After installing MySQL Server 5.6 from latest ports on a freshly installed 9.1 system, the rc.d script fails to run with:

[root at regent ~]# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server onestart
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/mysql-server: WARNING: failed precmd routine for mysql

I tracked this down to mysql_install_db, when run directly can't find a Perl interpreter:

[root at regent ~]# mysql_install_db  
-su: /usr/local/bin/mysql_install_db: /usr/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file or directory




>How-To-Repeat:
Fresh install of FreeBSD 9.1, install MySQL Server 5.6 from Ports, try to start it for the first time (ie, no existing data in /var/db/mysql)
>Fix:
a) Install Perl beforehand, or
b) Add USE_PERL5_BUILD=yes to Makefile
