If one exists already, please feel free to give me a virtual slap (but please provide alink at the same time...) Otherwise, I could use some help. On a FreeBSD 4.7 system, I've installed a newer version of Perl, using the ports system (new version in /usr/localbin is 5.8.0, system-installed version is 5.005_03 in /usr/bin) Anyway, I went to install Nagios (via ports) the other day, and the SNMP plugin install quit because of complaints that it needed a newer version of Perl that that which came with the system. Since I actually have that newer version already in, I just need to figure out where the port Makefiles are pulling their path info from. Or find a way to explicitly state which Perl version to use in the make process. I'm unsure of how to do this. Any help, or a pointer to said help, will be greatly apperciated. -Dayne To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
