Actually, I think people have been fairly restrained on this one, and we're building a clear consensus. :-) Thanks for gritting your teeth on this one and opening the discussion to the widest community possible, and for listening to all this input. As someone who uses both FreeBSD *and* Perl, I want whichever version of Perl that I want. I want to be able to use my desired version of Perl without dealing with workarounds or hacks. This is the same way I want to use Apache or PHP, for example. This means installing from a port, and not having to worry about possible conflicts with the base system. #3. ==ml -- Michael Lucas mwlucas@FreeBSD.org, mwlucas@BlackHelicopters.org http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/q/Big_Scary_Daemons Absolute BSD: http://www.nostarch.com/abs_bsd.htm To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
