I'm extremely happy to finally have 5.6.1 available, but I have a small suggestion about this use.perl script. I think that /usr/bin/perl5 should be treated the same as /usr/bin/perl. That is, it should be pointed to 5.6.1 when "use.perl port" is run, and it should not be used to create the link when "use.perl system" is run. The rationale is that 5.6.1 is also perl5, and there are existing "fully qualified" names (perl5.005_03 and perl5.6.1) to use specific versions. The Perl 5.6.1 port creates a perl5 link also - the "perl5" filename is not specific to 5.5.3. I think that for this "system Perl replacement" use of the port, all of the stuff installed in /usr/local/bin should have symlinks in /usr/bin. Stuff like perlcc and perldoc have changed significantly. -- Christopher Masto CB461C61 8AFC E3A8 7CE5 9023 B35D C26A D849 1F6E CB46 1C61 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
