Re: installed perl 5.8. from the ports ??
In the immortal words of Shawn Guillemette [EMAIL PROTECTED]... Unfortunately I dont know what version I has using before. I was wondering if there was somthign I needed to do to stop using the older version and start using the new one? check the /usr/ports/UPDATING file, I think it's at the bottom of the file anddescribes in detail how to upgrade from perl 5.6 to 5.8 Cheers Tim -- Tim Aslat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Spyderweb Consulting http://www.spyderweb.com.au Phone: +61 0401088479 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Read /usr/ports/UPDATING because there is a section on updating perl. You also need to update automake* because some of them create a link to the current perl as the first line, If you are running 4.x, the install tells you to run use.perl port and that is all you need to do to use the new perl.

Re: installed perl 5.8. from the ports ??
did you enter the command use.perl port after installing perl 5.8 _before_ rebuilding rt3 ?? Perl by default will continue to use the perl supplied with the initial site distro... to switch back it use.perl site mjt On Fri, 2004-05-21 at 13:51, Shawn Guillemette wrote: I needed to install something better then perl 5.6.1 in order to install something from another port.
