Hi

We are trying to install a package on freeBSD that requires Perl 5.8.7

Is there any way to install Perl 5.8.7 through the ports as the latest
version I can install is Perl 5.8.5

If that is the latest version available through the ports, then can someone
point me in the right direction to get version 5.8.7 installed ??

* I have perl-5.8.7.tbz download from the net, but I can't figure out how to
install it.



Thanks


GM
