Perl is the same in 4.6. Install the port if you want something newer. You should probably cvsup to the RELENG_4_6 branch which doesn't change except for security issues. The "security" branches are the only ones guaranteed to work all the time. > If there is an easier way of upgrading my perl, then I won't have to make > buildworld and the other stuff.

But you should update FreeBSD at least to RELENG_4_5. -- Scott Lambert KC5MLE Unix SysAdmin lambert@lambertfam.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
