Configure on FreeBSD

This is what I got when running the config script for perl5.001n
on a FreeBSD 2.0.5 box, right after it said "Let's see what value
errno gets from read() on a O_NONBLOCK file..."

Configure: 5563: Syntax error: ";" unexpected

I couldn't figure out which ; in particular was the trouble.
None stood out as unusual.

Try
ksh Configure
This appears to be a FreeBSD /bin/sh bug. I've simplified the here
document a bit in 5.002 beta1. See if that helps.

I think it is fixed in both 2.1.0 (just released) and 2.2-CURRENT. It is
worth upgrading to 2.1 if only for that :-)

Perl 5.001n (and previous) worked nicely with -CURRENT's sh. I'll try
tonight 5.002beta1 on my 2.2-CURRENT system.

On a side note, has anyone already tried to compile Tk-b8 under 5.002b1 ?
