No -- it's a lot easier than you seem to think.
i) Install the perl5.8 port:
# portinstall lang/perl5.8
- or -
# cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
# make install
ii) Set the new version of perl to be the default. (This also turns
off building perl as part of the base system):
# use.perl port
iii) Re-install any 3rd party modules, etc that you've installed so
the new perl can access them. There should be a neater way of
doing this...
# find /usr/local/lib/perl5/{site_perl/5.005,5.00503} -type f -prin=
t0 | \
xargs -0 -n 1 pkg_which | sort -u > /tmp/perl-ports
# vi perl-ports
[ Sanity check the results: take out any non-ports (like
'?'), ports that are now bundled with perl or that you no longer
wish to have installed ]
# portupgrade -f `cat /tmp/perl-ports`
Et voila. New version of perl installed and ready to go.
Cheers,
Matthew
