System: NetBSD special.cs.mu.OZ.AU 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (SPECIAL) #0: Tue Feb 8 16:23:08 PST 2000 root@special.cs.mu.OZ.AU:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/SPECIAL i386


>Description:
	The distribute package (pkgsrc/mail/distribute) needs perl
	to build, but doesn't include perl5 in BUILD_DEPENDS or DEPENDS
	(I have yet to determine whether perl is needed at runtime).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Remove perl (well...) and attempt to build the distribute package
>Fix:
	workaround: manually install perl before installing distribute
	fix: add the appropriate DEPENDS line to distribute/Makefile
