Though you are undoubtedly correct, I'd like to note that PERL_LEVEL works for the purpose it is being normally used, since 1) the only perl left in the base system in any recent version of FreeBSD is 5.005_03, and 2) the lang/perl5* ports set various PERL_ variables in /etc/make.conf, thus making PERL_VERSION defined during the above line processing. In this way, it is always possible to distinguish between >= 5.6 or < 5.6, which is the most clear-cut boundary among existing perl5 varieties. =Anton. -- | Anton Berezin | FreeBSD: The power to serve | | catpipe Systems ApS _ _ |_ | http://www.FreeBSD.org | | tobez@catpipe.net (_(_|| | tobez@FreeBSD.org | | +45 7021 0050 | Private: tobez@tobez.org | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports-bugs" in the body of the message
