Subject: upgrading the perl installation problems.

Hello list,

I'm trying to install mimedefang from ports, but I get the error:

===>  mimedefang-2.43_1 Port requires perl 5.6.1 or later. Install
lang/perl5
or lang/perl5.8 then try again.

I cd to the correct directory, type make install clean, get the 'all ok'
from
installation telling me it's reinstalled, and type:

#perl --version and get:

This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd

What am I missing in this process?

TIA.

-------------------

You're missing one of the last warnings during the make of perl5.x from the
ports tree..
use.perl.

Usage:
  /usr/local/bin/use.perl port       -> /usr/bin/perl is the perl5 port
  /usr/local/bin/use.perl system     -> /usr/bin/perl is the system perl
