Log Message:
Update lang/perl5 to 5.8.8.  Changes from version 5.8.7 include:

   * Updates of many standard Perl modules.
   * Performance enhancements for loadable modules and memory usage.

   * Fixed bug when running with "-w".  Previously when running with
     warnings enabled globally via "-w", selective disabling of specific
     warning categories would actually turn off all warnings.  This
     is now fixed; now "no warnings 'io';" will only turn off warnings
     in the "io" class.  This bug fix may cause some programs to start
     correctly issuing warnings.

   * Perl 5.8.4 introduced a change so that assignments of "undef" to a
     scalar, or of an empty list to an array or a hash, were optimised away.
     As this could cause problems when "goto" jumps were involved, this
     change has been backed out.

   * Using the sprintf function with some formats could lead to a
     buffer overflow in some specific cases.  This has been fixed,
     along with several other bugs, notably in bounds checking.

   * Fixed bug in pkgsrc-installed perl-5.8.7 and all subsequent
     PKGREVISIONs, where perl didn't look for site modules under
     /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl, but only under
     /usr/pkg/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0, and similarly for the vendor
     modules.

   * Honor PKGMANDIR when installing man pages.
