It does now, doesn't it? Running 'perl whatever' just picks the first 'perl' in your PATH. > which just exchanges the specific behavior you don't want > for a different broken behavior (think about what happens > if/when you upgrade your macports perl but you have something > in ${prefix}/bin that you installed locally that is now > missing components...) If the user installed something manually into $prefix/bin that depends on a particular perl version (from macports), and then upgraded that perl version via macports, and it broke his manual $prefix/bin/stuff, it's the user's own footshooting. It's none of macports bussines to even care whether upgrading a macports version of something breaks some none-macports software. _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org https://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo/macports-users
