It isn't - not unless you are running FreeBSD 4.x or older (and then it would have been Perl version 5.005_03.) Perl was removed from the base system (in what was then 5-CURRENT) back in 2002 and has certainly not been added back again. Perl 5.8.8 has never been part of the base system, nor compiled by buildworld. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson ertr1013@student.uu.se
