You made a big mistake.  I assume you read the README and saw that
it requires threaded perl (which no one has/uses since it's
experimental).  Judging by the "frozen-bubble" shell script you
made, you decided to use the libc_r workaround:

#!/bin/sh
LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libc_r.so.7.0 perl
/usr/local/bin/frozen-bubble.pl $@

The thing you forgot is that -current doesn't have libc_r.so  So this
port is unusable.

BTW, Marc, running frozen-bubble.pl returns:

[SDL Init] /usr/libexec/ld.so: Undefined symbol "_pthread_mutexattr_init"
called from perl:/usr/local/lib/libSDL.so.1.0 at 0x402bad40

Maybe this error is related to broken software that shouldn't run in
the first place? :P
