Besides this is /usr/src/gnu/usr.bin/perl/perl, not the recommended directory. I just updated with cvsup, so I can't figure why I am (apparently) behind. So for my question(s)@FreeBSD: Is my error related to the mention in UPDATING to delete /usr/bin/miniperl? And if so, what does "delete" really mean in this context? If there is no relation between my problem and the mention in UPDATING then what (slow, painful, edumacational) steps should I take to rectify my problem?
