>Description:
pkgsrc/lang/perl5/module.mk, which is also being used for perl58, has
...
${SED} -e "s,[        ].*,," -e "s,/\./,/,g" -e "s,${PREFIX}/,," \
                -e "s,^,@unexec \${RMDIR} -p %D/," \
                -e "s,/[^/]*$$, 2>/dev/null || \${TRUE}," \
...
to establish the CONTENT file of the package.
Now the above backslash in fron of the dollar sign is not needed, moreover with 
for example GNU sed it causes the loss of a character, leading to "rue" instead 
of "true" in the CONTENT file, sice \t is interpreted as a tab character.



>How-To-Repeat:
install, for example, perl58 with SED being set to the current version of GNU 
sed.
>Fix:
Remove the backslash in front of the dollar sign.
