What the command bellow shows to you: # perl -v Following is a script to upgrade perl: i) Install the perl5.8 port: # portinstall lang/perl5.8 - or - # cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 # make install ii) Set the new version of perl to be the default. (This also turns off building perl as part of the base system): # use.perl port iii) Re-install any 3rd party modules, etc that you've installed so the new perl can access them. There should be a neater way of doing this... # find /usr/local/lib/perl5/{site_perl/5.005,5.00503} -type f \ -print0 | \ xargs -0 -n 1 pkg_which | sort -u /tmp/perl-ports # vi perl-ports [ Sanity check the results: take out any non-ports (like '?'), ports that are now bundled with perl or that you no longer wish to have installed ] # portupgrade -f `cat /tmp/perl-ports` iv) All of the versions of automake use perl and have the version to use as the 1st line. You need to: portupgrade -f automake to get things ready for your new version of perl. - Marcelo Souza
