Which is what I eventually did.

Quite frankly though I would have preferred not to simply to keep the  
system from being cluttered by unnecessary stuff.

The pkgsrc build of bind-9.6.1-P1 (bind96) on this system took about  
12 hours and installed a ton of cpam stuff as well as perl5.

Now I have nothing against perl personally but it seems a bit odd to  
install it when the package doesn't need it under normal circumstances.

The price of using a package manager I guess.
