Now, I want to upgrade Perl to version 5.6 and I notice there is a perl5 port in the list I`ve seen on: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.10-release/ But this port is not on my system and to understand how to get perl5 in my port collection, I searched on the Internet for several hours without success. Can you refer me a specific page or a chapter in the FreeBSD manual that describe how to do it? Thank you, Pierre LeBlanc
