Yes.

Thank you for that!  After changing from...
/usr/ports/packages/Latest/perl.tbz -> ../All/perl-5.10.1_2.tbz
to...
/usr/ports/packages/Latest/perl.tbz -> ../All/perl-5.12.1.tbz
all works fine.  I presume this is due to...

~/ports> grep LATEST lang/perl5.*/Makefile
lang/perl5.10/Makefile:LATEST_LINK=     perl
lang/perl5.12/Makefile:NO_LATEST_LINK=  yes
lang/perl5.8/Makefile:NO_LATEST_LINK=   yes

Thanks very much for portmaster!

cheers,
doug
