Any idea why that is? I have MySQL 3.2.2 installed fine on my 2.2.7-STABLE. I built it from the ports collection too. First, what verison of perl _are_ you running? in sh: for f in `whereis perl`; do if [ -x $f -a -f $f ]; then echo $f ; $f -version | grep version; fi; done will get you all the versions of all the perls that whereis finds - but check /us/local/bin anyway ;). IIRC, the 'BSD system perl in a lot of 2.2.X is perl 4.x. This is set in /etc/make.conf, BTW. It was a long time ago, but I recall hacking /etc/make.conf to point to /usr/local/bin/perl (coz that's the one the port builds), because a make world kept shafting my perl 5 with perl 4 before I found out what was happening.
