The port's problem is, it needs Perl 5.6.1 or greater to run. It needs CGI.pm-2.80 or greater, which doesn't exist in ports. You can search ports/36887, which proposed a CGI-2.80. I have a wild guess: the reason why ports/36887 remains open is CGi-2.80 needs perl 5.6. If you want to install this port, I recommend you run 'use.perl port' first to make perl5.6 to be the system perl, then portupgrade -fv "p5-*" to reinstall your installed perl modules from ports. You might want to search other perl modules manually to do so. Don't forget mod_perl. Then run this port using make -DINSTALL_NEW install clean The reason why 'make upgrade' is default is I think it makes life eaiser when using portupgrade to upgrade newer version of this port someday. The '/usr/local/bin/perl' is intended for I want to make sure Perl 5.6 is really used for this port. If -current don't have it, then I'll correct it. (I never use -current and didn't think about it. Sorry for that.) I don't have machines running -current, so I cannot test this port on -current. I don't have machine running postgresql, DB_TYPE=Pg is not tested either. I think perl 5.8 is ok with this port, because I was told all RT's developers use Perl 5.8. :) I'm planing to make a RT-devel port, but there are some issues need to be done first. I'll wait one week or two to see if those issues could be resolved. As I just said, RT's developers use Perl 5.8, and there might be something to break the code if using Perl 5.6.1.
