 |      The lang/perl5 package does not build under NetBSD-current.
 | 
 |      The errors are related to getproto*_r and getserv*_r functions.
 | 
 |         NetBSD does not declare the getserv*_r or getproto*_r functions
 |         in any header files, but it does provide private implementations
 |         in libc.  perl's Configure script seems to find the private

 |      arguments.
 
 The previous versions of perl were fixed by disabling those functions
 in the configure script.
