I would advise you to use portmaster; 1) portmaster -o lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.10 2) portmaster p5- That worked for me. > Perl, while (IIRC) it is in the base system Not anymore. > I also can't remember if a recursive rebuild of all ports after an > upgrade across releases was ever recommended.

In that case it is best to make= a list of all installed ports (portmaster -L), delete all ports before the upgrade, and install the 'root' and 'leaf' ports from the list again. > My point with these questions is to move toward 8.1 in the most > economical manner. If you are running a GENERIC kernel, you could use freebsd-update. That is probably the fastest.
