Hi.
Default Perl version is changed to 5.10.
This change does not affect systems with already installed Perl (5.8 or 5.10).
Only for systems without installed Perl new 5.10 port will be used.
If you have already installed lang/perl5.8 and want switch to
lang/perl5.10 please follow instructions:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.10 lang/perl5.8
portmaster -r perl-
Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
specify the name of the perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.
