    I doubt that. The package is called lang/perl5, and has existed since 1997. The current 5.14 package may still support your old version -- I recently saw one frequently-updated package patching for a NetBSD <2.99 installation! And even if you cannot get the newest version of Perl, 5.8 is still pretty good to work with.

    Just an FYI, NetBSD 3.0 is from 2005 and is no longer supported.
