> Could you elaborate on this topic and explain the reason for separate port? Not everyone is going to update immediately. Also loads of the p5- ports will have issues or be incompatible. ITs going to be dual lifed like perl 5.6 lang/perl5 lang/perl5.8 lang/perl5.10 5.8.8 -> 5.8.9 is a 'patch release' witness the cvs commits for that 5.6-x -> 5.8.8-> 5.10.x are major release. hopefully we'll drop 5.6.x once 5.10 is since its not maintained upstream and is the last release is over a decade ago. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1024D/DB9B8C1C B90B FBC3 A3A1 C71A 8E70 3F8C 75B8 8FFB DB9B 8C1C Philip M.
