Thanks ... say you have a package:
cd /usr/ports/sysutils/usermin
  In this folder you have Makefile, distinfo, files, pkg-descr, pkg-message, and pkg-plist
The issue the command while in this folder:
                                           perl Makefile
voila,, you get:

Semicolon seems to be missing at Makefile line 9
Bareword found where operator expected at Makefile line 11 .near "/www" [Missing operator before www?]
syntax erro at Makefile line 10
Execution of Makefile aborted due to Compilation errors.

And many more of these errors for each and every file/application I try to install.

Thanks,

SJK
