/usr/local is where ports go. ports don't install into
/usr/{bin,include,lib}, and system doesn't install into
/usr/local{bin,include,lib}. that's the whole point.you should modify your scripts to use /usr/bin/perl. if you want to use perl5.8.0, use /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.0 -Adam >> (07.24.2002 @ 0907 PST): Mark Stosberg said, in 1.3K: << > > Hello, > > I recently installed the Perl 5.8 port for FreeBSD easily with "make > install".
