Any time you run "use.perl", do "env FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 portupgrade -f p5-\*". (I consider the need for the FORCE_PKG_REGISTER thing a bug, but don't know how to get around it. The problem appears to be that portupgrade doesn't actually upgrade them in dependency order, so the upgrade tends to lose when some module forces install of another, which discovers that it's "already installed" and aborts.) -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [WAY too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon univ.
