PL_sv_undef and PL_stack_max undefined - FreBSD 8.0, Perl 5.8.9 or 5.10, FreeRADIUS 2.1.6

[Meyers, Dan]

Interestingly, a completely fresh install of 7.2 that never sees
anything out of ports installs perl 5.8.9_2 not 5.8.9_2, and freeradius
2.1.4 instead of 2.1.6 via pkg_add if I do a pkg_add freeradius. *That*
works absolutely fine. Unfortunately the packages for 8.0 are 5.8.9_3
and 2.1.6 respectively. For now, it looks like we'll stick with 7.2 and
install from packages instead of ports.
