That sounds good, although having /usr/local in there too would also be very desirable, since that's where Perl stuff not in ports (and going by what I've heard of BSDPAN, stuff that's not in CPAN :) will go. How about having it as a list like ldconfig_paths, so it can be set like: SITEPERL = "$SITEPERL /usr/pkg" So the admin can control whether ones installed via ports get priority or not, and can even set entirely different paths should he feel the need (might make some Perl hackers happy). -- Thomas 'Freaky' Hurst - freaky@aagh.net - http://www.aagh.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
