>Description:
	
/usr/local/bin/perl is a normal file (not a sym link) from the most recent
perl install.  Sym links are set up, but not correctly.

-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     wheel      856592 Apr 29 01:46 perl
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root     wheel          19 Apr 29 01:46 perl5 -> /usr/local/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root     wheel          19 Apr 29 01:28 perl5.6.1 -> /usr/local/bin/perl
lrwxr-xr-x   1 root     wheel          19 Apr 29 01:46 perl5.8.0 -> /usr/local/bin/perl

So, perl5.6.1 points to perl which is 5.8.0.  Doesn't make sense.  sperl is
done correctly, however.

-rws--x--x   1 root     wheel      741960 Apr 29 01:28 sperl5.6.1
-rws--x--x   2 root     wheel      856752 Apr 29 01:46 sperl5.8.0

>How-To-Repeat:
	
portinstall perl-5.\*
>Fix:

	

make perl5.6.1 and perl5.8.0 regular files, and set up perl/perl5 as sym
links according to the owner's preference.
