This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156) --------------enigD4E47B84C8EFED46FF5EEE68 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi, I am updating several 5.x machines, and in the process updating the perl packages from 5.6.x to 5.8.x. What I have noticed is that if you are installing a package on a new system, the package installs the symlinks in /usr/bin and puts the Perl env variables in /etc/make.conf (as expecte= d). However, when updating (via pkg_delete -a, then pkg_add or portupgrade) the symlinks aren't maintained and the perl variables are not modified. And the use.perl script seems to no longer exist (or I'd just have portupgrade run 'use.perl port' after updating the perl package) Is there a new/better way that perl is updated via packages so that the symlinks are maintained and the entries in /etc/make.conf are updated with the new perl version?
