Hi, one of the programs I'm using (freeradius' rlm_perl) segfaults
with both Perl 5.8.9 and 5.10, only working with 5.8.8. How can I
cleanly install Perl 5.8.8 on a fresh system, without mangling the
port Makefile? I've tried putting both USE_PERL=5.8.8 and
PERL_VERSION=5.8.8 in /etc/make.conf, but "make fetch" still tries to
fetch version 5.8.9.
portdowngrade is what you'ld have to use. However, perl-5.8.8 has known
security vulnerabilities:

Would definitely be better to get your program to work with a current
version of perl.
Thanks for pointing this out. However, portdowngrade doesn't help me much:
# portdowngrade -s:pserver:anon...@anoncvs.freebsd.org:/home/ncvs
lang/perl5.8
portdowngrade 0.6 by Heiner Eichmann
Please note, that nothing is changed in the ports tree
unless it is explicitly permitted in step 6!
Seeking port lang/perl5.8 ... not found
