Hey everyone,

I would like to compile a binary perl distribution and install it in
an independent location of the filesystem, so that it won't interfere
with any existing perl distribution. In Linux, commercial applications
are free to use the subtree of the /opt directory, so I'm using /opt/
product/perl5 directory. There are also many other files than the
perl5 directory, I'm just giving you an idea of how it looks like.
Where can I install such a binary commercial distribution in OpenBSD?
The hier manual page doesn't give any clue on this or any hook.

Thanks,

Whereever you want. If you don't call it 'perl', but - say -
'perl-bin', you could just stick it in /usr/local. For added fun, build
a port for it first.
