>Description:
	The base release of Perl (5.005_03) is being compiled with static dependecy on
	/bin/csh. If the installed BSD base has been compiled without csh (NO_TCSH=true) or
	/bin/csh has been deleted, Perl will fail with an internal error: glob failed.

>How-To-Repeat:
	1. Compile BSD base from source with NO_TCSH=true and install it onto a clean partition.
	or
	2. Delete the following files from an already running system:
		/bin/tcsh
		/bin/csh

	The error will occur with certain scripts. See Problem Report ports/62891.

>Fix:
	1. Change the following vars in /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/libperl/config.sh-elf.%%ARCH%%,
	where %%ARCH%% is either alpha or i386 to remove the csh dependency:
		
		csh='csh' > csh=''
		d_csh='define' > d_csh='undef'
		full_csh='/bin/csh' > full_csh=''

	Those vars should be changed, if
		/bin/csh doesn't exist
		/bin/tcsh doesn't exist
		Perl is being compiled with NO_TCSH=true

	Optionaly vars csh= and full_csh= can be changed to different names/locations of csh or
	csh equivalents.

	3. 'cd /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl && make depend all install'
