>Description:

The lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8 ports do not install correctly when 
there exists a directory /usr/local/scripts

The install fails with a message "/usr/local/bin/h2ph: not found" this 
and a lot of other binaries are installed into /usr/local/scripts in 
that case, but are not found there.

>How-To-Repeat:

(assuming, perl5 from the ports is not currently installed)

mkdir /usr/local/scripts
cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5
make clean
make install

>Fix:

work around: Do not have a /usr/local/scripts directory at perl5 build
time on your system.
