Good to know.  What version comes with FreeBSD if you don't install a port o=
f Perl?  Is there some way to just "yank" the installed port and revert to t=
he default installed version?

I'm only running 5.8.9 because once upon a time I wanted to use a port (poss=
ibly RT) that required it.  So I installed it from the ports as a way to run=
 the latest version available at that time.

Thanks,
