And things are likely to get worse before they get better. CPAN has, de facto, left 5.00x behind. With that said, I didn't have any trouble running "use.perl port" once I figured out what was going on. My only question now is how I ought to go about removing the system version, but it's not all that pressing. If upgrading RELENG-4 to perl 5.6.1 would be a lot of work, then just leave it be, and add "use the ports version of perl" to the docs here and there.home | help
