I guess those packages aren't dependent on a specific version of perl; if they'd been built against the 4.x base system's version, for example, you wouldn't have *wanted* them updated. So they don't claim to be dependent on the perl package itself. I suppose that's a bit of a special case. I had tried it on a different case before sending my message (because I don't have a perl port installed), and it had done what I expected. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

After running into the problems you describe, and realising that most of the perl modules I had installed didn't show up as dependencies of perl, and after doing the first one I reckoned the best move was to use brute force. Generate a list of all of the ports that install files under /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 and /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0: find /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.0 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.0 \ -type f -print | xargs -L 1 pkg_which | sort -u > /tmp/perl-files It's quite likely that you'll see several several files claimed by both perl and a perl module port. In this case, you don't need to install the separate port as perl-5.8.1 comes with the latest versions of everything. The procedure then is to pkg_delete all of the ports that install anything under those two directories, except for perl itself. Then portupgrade -f perl and re-run use.perl port Then re-install all of the perl-based ports. After that, you'll need to run pkgdb -Fvu to fix up any dependencies. Some ports expect to have various perl modules installed as dependencies, which are now available as part of the standard set of perl modules, so edit the dependencies appropriately.

That didn't seem to work. I ran that on one system, and it only
upgraded perl, it didn't attempt to do any of the p5-* packages.
You could do: portupgrade -rf perl p5-\*
I'd imagine -r would mean all p5-* packages are included (since they depend
on perl), but obviously that wasn't the case. If the version of FreeBSD
is 4.x, then that means there is a perl in the base system, and thus all
the p5-* packages probably didn't have perl listed as one of their
dependencies.
Furthermore ${PERL_VER} contains 5.8.0 as long as you didn't update your
/etc/make.conf (which could be easily done by adding
'lang/perl5*' => 'use.perl port',
to the AFTERINSTALL hash in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
So, even if the dependend packages would be updated, the will fail to
install, 'cause they will be stored in
${LOCALBASE}/lib/perl/site_perl/5.8.0/
