After having some investigation on this subject, it comes clear to me that Perl is a very important part of my FreeBSD. Before that I considered it only as an app, nothing more than that *-) I did the update on a backup server and it took me 5 hours to get this done (going thru a full install of FreeBSD). Rebooted the system and so far no strange side-effects. I will though keep attention on evt. flaws on its behavior, allthough I expect the developer has it throuroughly tested before releasing it. thanks for sharing, -- Jos Chrispijn
