Hi, I've got a comment on the perl5.6.1 port. According to the CVS logs for the port, at version 5.6.1_7, you added code to Install.pm to force install all the files to make it easier to cleanup afterwards. I would like to request it be restored back, since upgrading a perl install this way stomps all over any other modules upgraded since the original instal. For example, CGI.pm has been significatnly updated since perl 5.6.1 came out, but if I reinstall it via the port, the updated one gets reverted. Ditto for CPAN.pm. At the least, I would appreciate if this feature could be made optional; it makes upgrading the perl port painful to have to re-upgrade my module collection. For now, I guess I'll just manually back out the patch for this "feature". Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
