I have no desire to upgrade to FreeBSD-5. I did a search on the mail archives, but could find no answer for what to do. Presumably I need to install the perl5.8 port, but I don't know what to do after that. (I looked for 'PERL' in /etc/make.conf to see if there was something I could do there, but I didn't see anything.) Thanks, Stephen
