I was using perl 5.6 w/ FreeBSD 4.[56] devoid of system perl;
currently i use perl 5.8 on FreeBSD 4.8-RELEASE.  I don't use the
use.perl program as i much prefer to do its work myself.

...not that that would affect what you, Wes, are trying  to do; just
something to keep in mind if/when you do "make test" in perl5.8
port.
