Sorry about that, I'd assumed that you'd installed from ports, not packages. On my box, in the /usr/bin directory: $ls -alT perl* lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 Mar 20 15:25:53 2004 perl@ -> /usr/local/bin/perl ... lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 19 Mar 20 15:25:53 2004 perl5.8.2@ -> /usr/local/bin/perl ... So, you should be able to check your /usr/bin directory for the perl and perl5.8.0 files. If they are links to the system's perl, then simply link them to the new location (which should be /usr/local/bin/perl). That should allow the newer perl to be used by default. HTH, -- dave [ please don't CC me ]
