OK.  My bad.

When installing the mySQL binary package, it complains that perl is
not installed.  It is, but not via the package mechanism.

Is there a simple way to tell the package system that perl is there,
without re-installing it as a package?  I know I can use "pkg_add -f",
but that would also force installation if other stuff (that may _not_
be installed) is missing.
