That sound like "too much". I've 1408 ports installed, of which 90 are named p5-*, and "pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.26" shows only 32 ports. Did you rebuild everything along the build-dependencies, or does your build tool use the run-depdendencies? There had been a time when ports had way too many dependencies registered, if my memory serves right that was because many build-dependencies were recorded as run-dependencies (or there was no distinction at all). Is that a leftover effect from those times? Regards, Christoph -- Spare Space
