"make deinstall" within /usr/ports/lang - need to recover default language installs

[David Demelier]

lang/ contains all languages and so on ruby, lua, python, perl.. Of course
you removed perl since you typed make deinstall in that parent port tree.

You can type make install in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.14 to install it again.
You don't need to reinstall FreeBSD, you're not on Windows here, you can
repair everything :)

Note: there is no perl installed by default, it's in the ports for few
years now.
