There's just one problem with that: PERL_VERSION is defined in the 
bsd.port.port.mk section. In any event, this is only an issue on -stable 
systems, and we want to know what 5.005.?? they have. The 'use.perl' 
command that comes with the ports puts it in /etc/make.conf, so we get it 
then.

Besides, for practical purposes, zero is just as good as 500504; they're
both older than Dick Clark.

I'm not going to waste any time on this. I weighed all these issues, and
I am satisfied with the result.
