Hi I had a similar problem. perl5.5.2 caused some of my perl mirror jobs to puke so i installed perl5.4.4 by downloading the tarred/zipped distribution and installed it by hand (easily done with help from the questions list). It seemed to fix most problems. I was told that the orginal errors were caused by the unstability of the latest versions of perl on bsd (2.2.8 in my case) - hope this helps - even if it is not what you asked for ;-) bye rudi Kiril Mitev wrote: > > Or, more to the point, I am developing a stong feeling that > the perl installation/packages on my 3.1-RELEASE is rather, erm, > messed up, as in, quite a lot from the 'ports' is looking > for files in the wrong directories (or maybe other bits > install into the wrong directories - i don't know) > > installing Perl stuff from the Perl installer (-MCPAN) > also breaks down more often than not... > > So, I thought my best (and quickest) bet would be to > clean out everything perl-wise, and build myself > a full distribution the way Perl would (hopefully) like it to be... > > So, how the .... do I make sure that NOTHING of the Perl stuff > that 'comes by default' is REALLY cleaned out ? > > Plz CC me on any replies, I dont read -questions To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
