So it's complicated. I don't suppose there's some equivalent to
OBJECT_FMT defined in "/usr/share/mk" on OpenBSD? That would make
things easy. Otherwise, it looks like there needs to be a detailed
clause in <bsd.prefs.mk> spelling out the variations based on
OS_VERSION and MACHINE_ARCH (for ${OPSYS} == "OpenBSD").

OBJECT_FMT doesn't do much, by the way. It leads to running
${LDCONFIG} if the platform is a.out, and it leads to warnings from
"pkg_add" when you try install an a.out package on an ELF platform.

What you did? What do you want to happen with the perl modules? I
don't believe you can install them to an arbitrary location, so the
choices seem to be

1) Use the base system's perl for pkgsrc. Stuff pkgsrc modules into
the base system's perl's directories.

2) Use pkgsrc perl. Stuff modules into pkgsrc perl.

"1" could be fine if you don't intend to install any pkgsrc perl
modules, but maybe it's not a good idea to make that the default.
Just a thought.
