Hi, Due to the recent changes to and rename at CPAN of these modules, I had to install those on a standard FreeBSD 5.4 i386 system with perl 5.8.6 installed via the ports collection. The perl 5.8.6 port already contains the modules File::Temp and File::Spec, so the previous ports of p5-File-Temp and p5-File-Spec would never install these, since this was tested in the ports Makefile using .IGNORE. The new p5-File-Temp-0.16_2 port always installs, even when the older p5-File-Temp-0.16 module as part of the base perl 5.8.6 installation is still present and doesn't remove these either. The same happens with the File::Spec module when the new p5-PathTools-3.09 is installed. The biggest problem with both new ports is however that it will install the modules in the WRONG LOCATION! Instead of installing the modules under /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6, the files get copied directly under /usr/local/lib!!! So the final installation creates files and directories like /usr/local/lib/Cwd.pm, /usr/local/lib/auto, /usr/local/lib/File, /usr/local/lib/File/Temp, /usr/local/lib/File/Spec, /usr/local/lib/File/Temp/Temp.pm etc. This clearly seems like an error and when uninstalling the ports using pkg_delete, pkg_delete complains about non-existing files and directories, since it can no find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.6/File/Temp/Temp.pm etc. Is there an error in the ports of these 2 modules (and possibly other modules)? Best regards, Adri Koppes
