Hello

I tried to apply all attached patches but I got the same error while
compilation.

... the Perl 5 committer rebased the patches on the HEAD of the 'blead' branch and then applied them to that branch in a series of commits two weeks ago. Applying the patches to perl-5.24.1 would probably not be the correct approach.

If you can checkout perl 5 blead on your FreeBSD-with-dtrace machine and build and test it there, that would be a good indicator of where things stand. You can request assistance on irc.perl.org #p5p or #bsdperl.

Thank you very much.

... the Perl 5 committer rebased the patches on the HEAD of the
'blead' branch and then applied them to that branch in a series of
commits two weeks ago. Applying the patches to perl-5.24.1 would
probably not be the correct approach.

Which is to say​: The patches in question will not appear in a production release version of perl until perl-5.26.0 is released in May of this year.

If you can checkout perl 5 blead on your FreeBSD-with-dtrace machine
and build and test it there, that would be a good indicator of where
things stand. You can request assistance on irc.perl.org #p5p or
#bsdperl.

Thank you very much.
