I am trying to install the Amanda server package. I am running FreeBSD 8.2 with Perl 5.12.3. The package lists Perl 5.10.1 as a dependency and since my newer version of Perl conlicts with the older version the install fails. pkg_add with "-f" just tries to force the installation of the older Perl and fails. How do I get the package to install and use the Perl I already have? I'd rather not downgrade Perl.
