When I try to upgrade perl5.8 to version 5.8.9_2, I get the

perl -v says I have version 5.8.6. Using port -f doesn't help. A
lot of other actions seem to be affected by this. How can I get
around this error?
Maybe your perl -v is telling you the Mac OS X version? Try /opt/
local/bin/perl -v instead. You can also issue `port installed |
grep perl` and see what version Mac Ports has installed. I would
not at all be surprised if you had 5.8.9_2 already, as I do, and
made no real efforts to instal it.
If you still do need to get it working, you could remove it, and
then install it again, maybe also first try to activate it, if it
is not listed as active in the installed list.
Show the output to the command above, and probably someone can
point you what to do next.
mac:~ bob$ /opt/local/bin/perl -v
This is perl, v5.8.6 built for darwin-thread-multi-2level
(with 5 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
and:
mac:~ bob$ port installed |grep perl
Error: port installed failed: Registry error: perl5.8
@5.8.8_0+darwin_8 not registered as installed.
When I try to remove perl altogether I get the same error message.
I need to get past the registry error before I can anything.
I am making a huge guess in an effort to get you past this, maybe look
in /opt/local/var/macports/receipts for perl, and move that aside.
Another suggestion would be
sudo port -u upgrade perl5
You may want to try this first, before messing with the receipts, as I
am not sure that is the right path to go down.
