>Description:
Building lang/perl5 fails with:

perlio.c: In function `PerlIOStdio_invalidate_fileno':
perlio.c:2899: error: structure has no member named `_file'

This is discussed here:

http://groups.google.com/group/perl.perl5.porters/browse_frm/thread/2403952b6fca2945/f8a5000badf427f9?lnk=st&q=4433D99E.40800%40sun.com&rnum=2#f8a5000badf427f9

And the patch making itself into the upstream perl repo is here:

http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/27722

This PR suggests patching the perl5 package to include that change.
>How-To-Repeat:
