upgrading the perl installation problems.

2004-06-12 Thread Eric Crist
Hello list,

I'm trying to install mimedefang from ports, but I get the error:

===  mimedefang-2.43_1 Port requires perl 5.6.1 or later. Install lang/perl5 
or lang/perl5.8 then try again.

I cd to the correct directory, type make install clean, get the 'all ok' from 
installation telling me it's reinstalled, and type:

#perl --version and get:

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd

What am I missing in this process?

TIA.

You're missing one of the last warnings during the make of perl5.x from the
ports tree..
use.perl.

Usage:
  /usr/local/bin/use.perl port   - /usr/bin/perl is the perl5 port
  /usr/local/bin/use.perl system - /usr/bin/perl is the system perl

Excellent!  That's what I was missing.  I've gotta quit trying to do this 
stuff at 0200!

Thanks Micheal!
