Line 628 of p42svn.pl looks like this:
     close(P4_OUTPUT) or die "close failed: ($?) $!";
and line 613:
     my $pid = open(P4_OUTPUT, "-|");

I guess "-|" is not portable Perl.

It looks like you'll have to modify the Perl script in some places. Why
not run p42svn.pl on the FreeBSD server instead?
