You can tell the portupgrade tools the path relative to /usr/ports -- so to upgrade from perl-5.6.1 to perl-5.8.2 you would do: # pkg_deinstall -f lang/perl5 # portinstall lang/perl5.8 and then all the 'use.perl port' stuff, as well as re-installing any perl modules (ie. anything that installed files under /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 or /usr/local/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.6.1) Cheers, Matthew --=20 Dr Matthew J Seaman MA, D.Phil. 26 The Paddocks Savill Way PGP: http://www.infracaninophile.co.uk/pgpkey Marlow Tel: +44 1628 476614 Bucks., SL7 1TH UK --y0ulUmNC+osPPQO6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD4DBQFAbVLCdtESqEQa7a0RAq8QAJYozc8/sCd/LywcJkeCJuo2PzRyAKCLIWTR x2PfBhf01LeMB2O6/icXAw== =TqdF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --y0ulUmNC+osPPQO6--
