Can you point me to the file? I don't see a link William> labeled "PERL"! Login to your FreeBSD system. Since you installed the ports collection, it's this easy: cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5 su make install clean If you didn't install the ports collection, you're a naughty boy. Go install the ports collection. Then you'll find that /usr/local/bin/perl is in place and when you type perl -v, you'll get some sort of useful message like This is perl, version 5..q45123050238501497501958 ...
