I am looking at doing the same, only I need to compile Perl with thread
support. Has anyone been able to do this with any success? I have tried
using the
Configure -Dusethreads -Duseithreads args to no avail, the config script
either ignores the flags or it cores on the make install...
Any advise would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Sean.

Of course! It is in your base system.

That's right. It is in your base system and it is not a port resp. package.

Assuming ${PORTSDIR}==/usr/ports
cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5/
make install
use.perl port
and don't forget to reinstall your perl modules for the new perl version.
