Hi all,
I"m running 4.5 stable and I'd like to upgrade my perl installation
from 5.005_03 to 5.6.1_1 using the ports package. It's definitely
installed:
perl -v
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd
<snip>
perl -V
<snip>
Characteristics of this binary (from libperl):
Built under freebsd
Compiled at Feb 3 2002 12:29:20
@INC:
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503/mach
/usr/libdata/perl/5.00503
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
but when I try to use the `pkg_update` command, I get:
pkg_update perl-5.6.1_1.tgz
updating perl packages to version 5.6.1
There are no perl packages installed.
Then I checked what was installed for ports:
pkg_info|grep -i perl
p5-DBI-1.20 The perl5 Database Interface. Required for DBD::* modules
p5-Data-ShowTable-3.3 Perl5 module to pretty-print arrays of data
p5-MIME-Base64-2.12 Perl5 module for Base64 and Quoted-Printable encodings
p5-Mysql-modules-1.2216 Perl5 modules for accessing MySQL databases
...so just some perl modules that I had installed, but not the main perl
package. How does one upgrade a package (specifically perl, in my case!)
in this scenario?
Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
Sincerely,
Bob
