One of the recipes I'm trying to follow calls for perl to be installed with USE_THREADS=yes. pkg_info | grep perl produces perl-5.8.8 Practical Extraction and Report Language but that doesn't tell me how it was installed. Trawling through the masses of port reated docs doesn't give me an obvious answer either and make.conf contains only PERL_VER=5.8.8 PERL_VERSION=5.8.8 I suppose its safest to assume that I need to reinstall perl, but how easy is it to do that? I think it was installed by default. -- Robin Becker
