I doubt there's any need for more cautionary tales about the wisdom of
building stuff as root(*), but I can't resist throwing this in as an
example of an astounding build-time glitch with bad consequences if done
as root:
<http://use.perl.org/~Alias/journal/34680>
Sure: FreeBSD doesn't invoke 'make test', this is a silly error and I'd
expect such things to be noticed by the port maintainer, but hey :-)
regards, l.
(*) FWIW: I agree with Greg, it's a matter of taste or principle. I
bounce between either camp depending if it's in the lab or in production
and some non-linear function of my current laziness.
