I decided to experiment with this, and was able to prevent perl4 from building during a make world by going into /usr/src/usr.sbin/Makefile and deleting perl in the SUBDIRS section. I commented on this on another thread, and a couple people have said that they've taken similar steps with success. I'm not sure what all is involved with sendmail, but you might want to give it a go, and tell us how it worked for you. :) On another note, I'm taking the fact that no one else commented on things that might need to be upgraded on a 2.2-Stable system (other than perl and curses) as a good sign. :) I'm still interested in someone 'splaining what a new curses library would do for me, and how hard it would be to install if anyone is interested. I think I have perl beaten into submission.
