Here is my guess. PERL_LEVEL is derived from PERL_VERSION or PERL_VER
which should be set in /etc/make.conf. But my recollection from my
FreeBSD-4.1 days is that there is some command you are supposed to run -
it has the word perl in it somewhere - that tells your system to use the
ports perl rather than the system perl. Maybe if you run that, it will
set the appropriate variables in /etc/make.conf.
