About time the FreeBSD 4.x perl compat bits went away, especially since they were not actually providing compatibility.

Might want to also note that you've made a lot of variables local. I think that's a good change too, but best to note it or split it off into another commit.

This revision was automatically updated to reflect the committed changes.

LGTM. I flagged a few other optional nits.
