If you would like your port (perl module, I assume) not to modify perllocal.pod during the installation, use make pure_install instead of make install (I mean make for Makefile generated with perl Makefile.PL, not the base Makefile for a port). Other than that, you cannot do much about it - the deinstallation of Perl packages is very broken in Perl. Most (if not all) of the existing Perl-related ports ignore this issue. -- Anton Berezin The Protein Laboratory, University of Copenhagen To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
