problem with perl version
I am runing freebsd 5.1 I have a problem with perl versions I need to use perl 5.8.0 but everytime I install from ports a application which depends from perl 5.6 something is overwritten and perl 5.8.0 is not avalaible and I have to make reinstall perl 5.8.0 every time. Is there a way to set a system variable for perl5.8.0 as default? I also tryed with this in /etc/make.conf PERL_VER=5.8.0 PERL_VERSION=5.8.0 but it is useless. if I then install an application from ports which uses perl5.6 the default perl becomes perl 5.6 regardless of make.conf settings. thank you very much Rick ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: problem with perl version
After installing the newest perl port, at the command line type: use.perl port and FreeBSD will now default to using the ports and consequently latest version of perl. Conversely, to use the built-in system version of perl type: use.perl system Hope that helps out! -Rian Hunter From: Mike Woods [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: problem with perl version Date: Sun, 5 Oct 2003 14:16:45 +0100 On Sun, 5 Oct 2003 06:50:51 -0600 (MDT) RJ45 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have a problem with perl versions I need to use perl 5.8.0 but everytime I install from ports a application which depends from perl 5.6 something is overwritten and perl 5.8.0 is not avalaible and I have to make reinstall perl 5.8.0 every time.
