That was the purpose of my cc'ing portmgr@ with my findings. If you
think a PR is necessary, I'm happy to step aside and let perl@ take
over. :)

And my memory slipped.

The explanation, however, was correct: the problem is that if you
unconditionally include bsd.perl.mk, everything works, and if you
conditionally include it, it doesn't. If you didn't patch the code
that does the conditional include, then you didn't test for the
actual problem.

This is a case of believing the author and/or the documentation, and
not looking at the code.

I made a mistake; it was not intentional; I'm sorry.
