+=head2 Perl will no longer be part of "base FreeBSD"
+
+Not as bad as it sounds--what this means is that Perl will no longer be
+part of the B<kernel build system> of FreeBSD. Perl will still very
+probably be part of the "default install", and in any case the latest
+version will be in the ports system. The first FreeBSD version this
+change will affect is 5.0, all 4.n versions will keep the status quo.
