Comment (by bruce.miller@…):

 Ah, so the various scripts are TCL, so maybe the following is best:
 {{{
    post-activate { catch { exec "mktexlsr" } }
 }}}

 After "fixing" that, I discovered that even with a proper Portfile, I
 still end up with the problem that the executables are installed in
 {{{/opt/local/libexec/perl5.16/sitebin/}}}, which is not in the typical
 user's path.
 Nor does that path get added automatically, as does {{{/opt/local/bin}}}.
 And frankly, it seems perverse to print a message to the user "Please add
 /opt/local/libexc/perl6.16/sitebin/ to your $PATH".

 From previous discussions here and on the mailing list, I gathered that
 the "recommended" solution is to add symlinks from {{{/opt/local/bin}}} to
 the actual installation.

 I've made those changes to the Portfile; Please, portfile experts take a
 look.  If it's acceptable, please, @sean, could you commit the change?

 Thanks
