How to best clean old Perl installations directories
I upgraded Perl from Perl 5.12 to 5.14, activated perl 5.14 and installed all my perl modules as 5.14 Question: Inside: /opt/local/lib/perl5/ I have the following directories: 5.12.2/ 5.12.3/ 5.12.4/ 5.14.2/ 5.8.9/ site_perl/ vendor_perl/ Why where the Perl 5.12 directories not removed? Is there a safe way or proper way to removed these directories? Thanks --R ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users

Is there a safe way or proper way to removed these directories? Are those directories empty? Do you still need any of the p5.12 ports? They wouldn't have been automatically removed by just installing the 5.14 versions. You should be able to see what ports are installed with: port installed p5.12-* You could then remove all of those, except for any that are deps of other installed ports with: port -p uninstall p5.12 The '-p' should keep the uninstall going even if there are some that can't be removed. In general, you should only interact with MacPorts installed files through the port command. It's typically best to not manually cleanup the opt directory. -- arno s hautala/-| a...@alum.wpi.edu pgp b2c9d448 ___ macports-users mailing list macports-users@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
