Install a perl port with a newer version: # cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 # make install and run the command which makes it 'default' for the system: # use.perl port This replaces the system perl binaries under /usr/bin with symlinks to the new port in /usr/local/bin (though it seems to miss a few) and adds some lines to /etc/make.conf so the new version will be used for building software. If you do this, there shouldn't be any need to remove the base system's version of perl. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Aaron Peterson" <aaron@alpete.com> To: <freebsd-questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2003 11:16 AM Subject: upgrading perl > What is the proper way to go about upgrading perl, since the base system > installs 5.0 something.
