Thanks for the reply. :) But I do not ( yet ) want to use perl 5.8.0 as default. Especially so, since half my programs would miss all their modules. I was just looking for a way in which I can gradually start to install 5.8.0 modules, without having to make 5.8.0 the default. Or I could switch from "use.perl port" to "use.perl system" whenever I install a new package. But on a live system, that may not be ideal. - Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
