so in order to get portmanager to stop updating perl do I add the
following to /usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf
snip ---
IGNORE|lang/perl5.8|

will that work?
It should work. I have it configured to ignore JAVA and OpenOfice. It
just issues a message in the log that the port is being ignored.
Out of curiosity, why can you not run a newer version of Perl on that OS?
I am running the newest version of PERL. I am running perl 5.8.8 which
is the latets port. for some reason when I am running portmanager and
update dependencies it wants to reverts perl back to the system perl.
any clues how to keep perl updated but not set to the system port?
cheers,
Noah
