Mat, there is some critically confusing wording here. When you say = "default Perl version" it kindof implies lang/perl5.20 as that is the = default version of Perl. No part of the instructions says explicitly = that setting DEFAULT_VERSION=3D perl5=3D5.22 will make = /usr/local/bin/perl come back. > =46rom now on, only the default Perl version will install = /usr/local/bin/perl. The way it's written now makes it sound like if you have anything but = 5.20 installed, /usr/local/bin/perl is going to disappear, which will = break every userland (non-ports) perl script. I strongly recommend changing it to something like: =46rom now on, only the default Perl port (currently 5.20), or = the version listed in DEFAULT_VERSIONS, will install = /usr/local/bin/perl. and later: you MUST add a line setting the version you are using to your /etc/make.conf, to preserve /usr/local/bin/perl: # Adam --=20 Adam Weinberger adamw@adamw.org http://www.adamw.org
