Has anyone been able to do this with any success? I have tried using the Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads args to no avail, the config script either ignores the flags or it cores on the make install... Any advise would be greatly appreciated!

How does one upgrade a package (specifically perl, in my > case!) in this scenario? Assuming ${PORTSDIR}==/usr/ports cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5/ make install use.perl port and don't forget to reinstall your perl modules for the new perl version.
