Hi all, I"m running 4.5 stable and I'd like to upgrade my perl installation from 5.005_03 to 5.6.1_1 using the ports package. It's definitely installed: perl -v This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd <snip> perl -V <snip> Characteristics of this binary (from libperl): Built under freebsd Compiled at Feb 3 2002 12:29:20 @INC: /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach /usr/libdata/perl/5.00503 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 but when I try to use the `pkg_update` command, I get: pkg_update perl-5.6.1_1.tgz updating perl packages to version 5.6.1 There are no perl packages installed. Then I checked what was installed for ports: pkg_info|grep -i perl p5-DBI-1.20 The perl5 Database Interface. Required for DBD::* modules p5-Data-ShowTable-3.3 Perl5 module to pretty-print arrays of data p5-MIME-Base64-2.12 Perl5 module for Base64 and Quoted-Printable encodings p5-Mysql-modules-1.2216 Perl5 modules for accessing MySQL databases ...so just some perl modules that I had installed, but not the main perl package. How does one upgrade a package (specifically perl, in my case!) in this scenario? Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
