>Description:
Some perl modules need Perl header files (*.ph), eg. Sys::Syslog.
Perl header files are "perlified" c-header files and can be created and
installed with h2ph wich comes with Perl.

>How-To-Repeat:
perl -e 'use Sys::Syslog'

>Fix:
A quick hack would be the addition of
  cd /usr/include
  ${LOCALBASE}/bin/h2ph * sys/* machine/*
to Makefile/post-install but those files won't get deinstalled with
pkg-delete I guess...

Maybe a little warning at the end of installation will be enough, something
like: "You will have to create some Perl header files manually to get all Perl
modules working. See h2ph(1)."
