So you have 5.8.5, or you had it when you tried to install mod_perl?
Yet the output shows 5.8.4. You just caused me to learn something. The
$use.perl port does work.
Here is my make.conf. You see at the top I changed the perl version by
hand to get it to work. If you look down you will seen everytime I did
a $use.perl port a new perl config was added, but none deleted. So it
seems bsd goes with whats at top! Delete the first 9 lines in yours and
the new perl version info should be at the bottom of yours too. You
only need to keep one perl config. How about do a make clean and then
make depend and send it to me with a copy of your make.conf.

So the link caused the depend stage to finish ok, but it should have
failled if the right version was not there. The link defeats the
purpose of having a dependancy check at all.

I find that you can ignore install instructions on bsd for the most
part. It sounds bad, but that is why the ports system is there. All
you should have to do is type make install or pkg_add etc.... and be
done with it. If you did more than this because the docs with the app
said so, that can be a problem. Mplayer is a good example. To compile
it yourself is a pain, but make install works like a charm!
