Yes, I was just being lazy.  It's the in the line that runs perllink, it
uses `-p ${PKG_PREFIX}' and if for some reason this hasn't been set by
pkg_add/pkg_delete (possibly your version of pkg_install) then it see the
add/delete command as the prefix and no command.

I think the easiest fix is to add the following line (same as what's in
some of the files in mk/pkginstall

: ${PKG_PREFIX=@PREFIX@}

I didn't know what he (the Dust Puppy) was when I first drew him,
but I did know that I liked the way he looked.
