When I run perl -MCPAN -e shell from the command line I get no route to host message. This box has public internet access as everything else works, so I know that error message is not correct. I looked in my firewall log file and I see that at the time I was doing -MCPAN, I have an inbound port

The source upgrade is not the problem, it's when on those rare times that system configuration file statements are added or changed that requiring mergemaster to run. There is no way around that condition when that happens. The 5.1 to 5.2 case is special just because 5.x is development branch. You

There are no knobs in rc.conf for the applications you mentioned. Rc.conf does not have internal check to verify you have correct statements. So having apache_enable=YES in rc.conf does nothing and issues no error message telling you it is invalid. All ports are started from /usr/local/etc/rc.d/
