Thanks to all who responded, now I have several things to think about. I will want to look at perl-after-upgrade script. Even if I don't use it, it would likely be helpful to see what it does and guide me as to what I can do. I also find I have a burning desire to check out pkgsrc (under

How can one do a massive portupgrade, as with -r or -R, without being interrupted by options configuration screens for many individual ports? Idea is to let it run unattended such as when I might run it starting just before bedtime. Doing make config ahead of time also gives the chance to
