>Description:
The 'Configure' script from the perl 5.10 distribution removes all non-existent
directories from the internal libpth variable. On a clean FreeBSD installation
/usr/local/lib doesn't exist, so 'Configure' removes /usr/local/lib from libpth.
Later on, perl modules can't be used, due to linking errors.
>How-To-Repeat:
# make -C /usr/ports/lang/perl5.10 BATCH=1 install
//  AFTER configure, ports will create /usr/local/lib and install perl in.
# make -C /usr/ports/devel/p5-Event-Lib install
# perl -e 'use Event::Lib'
/libexec/ld-elf.so.1:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/mach/auto/Event/Lib/Lib.so: Undefined
symbol "event_set_log_callback"
>Fix:
To fix, use attached patch for Configure.
