The problem is that until upgrading Gnome I never cared about what perl dists got installed. I don't use perl myself, it's the ports system that is using it, so I'm warning about a possible Gnome upgrade problem for other users. Apparently, the Gnome ports and especially help2man are expecting Perl 5.8 or at least only one perl port without enforcing it. -- Jean-Baptiste Quenot http://caraldi.com/jbq/
