I always have to do something manually. it might have been missed with the perl5.8.9 ->5.12 upgrade, who knows. You might want to open a pr [PATCH] devel/p5-Module-Build - conditional add BUILD_DEPENDS perl < 5.14. in the makefile, check for perl_ver and conditionally add that depends. (however, last time I build SA in a tinderbox with perl 5.12+, it worked just fine, ) anyone archiving this: besides what it says in UPDATING, and I have said this a couple of times in the past: once you are done, and do the perl-after-upgrade -f, do this and examiine the output: rsync -avun ../(oldperllib)/ .../(newperllibs) as in cd /usr/local/lib/perl5 rsync -avun 5.8.9/ 5.12/ cd site_perl rsync -avun 5.8.9/ 5.12/ check the files you see listed (-un does a dry run, checks times for newer files) some of these files that are left over are because they are not needed, ie: in the newer perl version. delete them. then run rsync without -n. then delete the old crap rm-rf /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9 the above is NOT sanctioned by FreeBSD, perl@, The White House, #10 Downing street, UNISCO or SECNAP. I find you WILL always have problems with perl upgrades. I usually just get a listing of depends, pkg_delete the whole lot (and rm leftovers) and reinstall from scratch when I have to. -- Michael Scheidell, CTO >*| * SECNAP Network Security Corporation d: +1.561.948.2259 w: http://people.freebsd.org/~scheidell
