Description Jeff Connelly 2005-08-04 22:50:13 UTC 
The irc/xchat2 port disables Perl support on amd64 platforms, because in 2003, it used to fail to build, see:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-gnome/2003-August/002312.html
Commit message:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=105294+0+/usr/local/www/db/text/2003/cvs-all/20031130.cvs-all

However, Perl support in xchat2 now works flawlessly on amd64 (at least on my system), so the check should be removed. A small patch to the Makefile is included.

Thanks,
-Jeff

Fix: 

Inside /usr/ports/irc/xchat2, apply this patch:

How-To-Repeat: cd /usr/ports/irc/xchat2
make install
