Compiling perl pkg_* to c

[Rickard Dahlstrand <rd_(_at_)_tilde_(_dot_)_se>]

Hi,

I'm working on a installation where I can't install perl and I need to
be able to install packages using pkg_add, pkg_delete etc.

There are two solutions to my problem:
1. If anyone have a c-based pkg_add or pkg_delete that works, this would
be great. (It seems like this was done in c a while back)
2. Try to compile the perl-source into a c-application using perlcc.

So, the best thing would be to get a c-version, does anyone have one of
these?

My second option seems to fail with a core dump:

# perlcc -c
pkg_add                                                                  
/usr/bin/perlcc: pkg_add did not compile, which can't happen:
