>Description:
Before FreeBSD 5.x, perl was part of the base system and sperl/suidperl was installed without the setuid bit. When some script need it, there was no need to rebuild it, a simple chmod was enough to use it.

Since FreeBSD 5.x, there is no more perl in the base system. As a result, when installing FreeBSD with software depending on perl (like imake/X) , the binary package get installed. Unfortunatly, the package is compiled without ENABLE_SUIDPERL and this force the re-installation of the port (with ENABLE_SUIDPERL) when we need it (sometimes with many ports to re-install when this occurs a long time after the original installation)

Why not building the perl binary package with ENABLE_SUIDPERL and installing the sperl/suidperl without the setuid bit ?

>How-To-Repeat:
install the perl5.8 package ...
>Fix:
build the perl binary package with ENABLE_SUIDPERL and install the sperl/suidperl without the setuid bit .
