I had the latter happen during a mass portupgrade because I had both 5.6 and 5.8 installed; I ended up nuking both, reinstalling 5.8, "use.perl port", and "portupgrade -f p5-\*" to make the existing ports sync up before I could install new Perl ports. -- brandon s allbery [openafs/solaris/japh/freebsd] allbery@kf8nh.apk.net system administrator [linux/heimdal/too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering KF8NH carnegie mellon university [better check the oblivious first -ke6sls]
