Which is essentially what I started running a couple of hours ago. I removed= perl, including all the numbered/versioned paths, everything p5-* in /var/d= b/pkg, all distfiles and work directories. I'll reinstall what was there and= then try removing ports that are no longer needed. I don't know of a reliab= le way to only build needed ports unless there is an incantation to review a= list any only install p5-* based ports.=20 My guess is there are a few more installs like this just waiting to hit this= bug. It would probably be good to find it with a less destructive process.
