I'm having all manner of problems getting perl 4.036 built on FreeBSD 2.1.0.
I don't want perl5 for what I'm doing, and I don't want to rewrite a big
pile of code to make it work under perl5.

Unfortunately perl4 appears to have vanished from the ports area on 
ftp.cdrom.com.  I assume it was retired at some point in the past...

Does anyone have a config.sh file for perl 4.036 that worked for them on
some recent incarnation of FreeBSD 2.x?  If so, please email.
