5.005_03 is still the native perl in FreeBSD-4.x.
There is no obvious reason why exigrep should be dependent on a recent
perl version; but if it is, then it should use "require 5.whatever;"
(or the equivalent "use") to declare that fact, where "whatever" is
the minimum supported version. In particular, if the only dependency
is the use of "our" at outer scope, then simply substituting
"use vars qw(variables...);" should suffice.
