You may be running into the situation where something Perl needs can't run because of mixed libraries. For the 7-8 major version upgrade, it's usually easier and faster to save your pkg_info output, backup /usr/local/etc, and pkg_delete everything. Then update the ports tree and start installing ports from scratch. There may be a way to automate that, like feeding the saved pkg_info output to portupgrade. I haven't done it often enough to investigate. -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA
