This can result in an error message indicating the need for File::Spec 0.8 or later. (Perl 5.8.0 is bundled with File::Spec 0.82; but the perl bundled with FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE is 0.6) This raises the question of whether perl 5.8.0 is really needed as a dependancy; or if it could be replaced with p5-File-Spec. >How-To-Repeat: Ensure that the p5-File-Spec port has not been installed, then try to build the phoenix port. >Fix: As a work-around, after installing perl 5.8.0, manually remove /usr/bin/perl and replace it with a symlink to or copy of /usr/local/bin/perl OR ensure that /usr/local/bin occurs before /usr/bin in your PATH. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports-bugs" in the body of the message
