How can I make sure I continue to use the version of perl > I’ve got currently installed when the default version changes? As memory serves the *default* minimum version, if none is chosen, is 5.20. I believe the "correct" way to manipulate this choice is by way of: DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=perl5=5.20 changing 5.20 to whichever your desired "default" version is. The same goes for your lang/python(2|3) as well as your pgsql, mysql, apache, etc... does make.conf(5) not already indicate this? HTH --Chris > > > > Stefan >
