Hi Bill,

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.
