Description Sergey Fedorov 2024-02-07 03:35:58 UTC 
Build of `perl5.36` fails on FreeBSD 14/ppc with:
```
Unsuccessful make(cpan/Pod-Checker): code=256 at make_ext.pl line 584.
```

Since this is a fundamental port, its breakage is quite troublesome.
Comment 1 Sergey Fedorov 2024-02-08 01:23:00 UTC 
perl5.34 also broken, same failure:

```
cp: blib/script/podchecker: No such file or directory
```
etc.

Could this be addressed? With broken Perl5 nothing can work.

And it is not broken for PowerPC outside of FreeBSD: I can say for the fact that on macOS PowerPC it builds fine and works.

Apparently been broken forever and never fixed: https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/problem-install-screen-from-ports.83386

Any updates on this issue?
Comment 4 Mathieu Arnold freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-04-30 19:11:10 UTC 
Well, I don't have a powerpc to test, so, not much I can do...
Comment 5 Mathieu Arnold freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2024-04-30 19:12:47 UTC 
A full build log would be nice, to be able to see what could go wrong.
