/usr/ports/UPDATING sais:
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.8. You should update everything
depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. PLEASE SEE
ITS MANUAL PAGE FOR DETAILS.
Following tha perl-after-upgrade manual page reveals:
o run perl-after-upgrade utility.
Do not specify any arguments at first, so IT DOES NOTHING destruc-
tive. Pay attention to the produced output and especially to
errorlist at the end, if any;
o run the utility again, with -f command line option.
THIS WILL ACTUALLY DO THE WORK. Again, pay attention to the output
produced;
So, leaving out the -f does nothing, it just produces a report!
People should be reading instructions.
> FBSD 4.xx causes on more interesting issue:
> When perl 5.8.x is upgrade to 5.8.8, it sets the perl back to base (non
> ports ) system.
> You will need to issue: 'use.perl port' after perl is upgrade.
Interesting. Thanks for the information!
