I'm . . . confused.
I decided to update Perl on my system. Yes, I know, 5.005_03 is installed in
4.3-STABLE by default, at /usr/bin/perl. But I'd like to have 5.6.1 sitting at
/usr/local/bin/perl.
Here's my uname -a line:
FreeBSD ralf.artlogix.com 4.3-STABLE FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE #9: Tue Jul 31 17:12:14 PDT 2001 root@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RALF i386
A fairly recent build. Unfortunately, going to /usr/ports/lang/perl5 and
typing "make" results in this:
# make
===> perl-5.005 is forbidden: perl is in system.
# _
which makes sense, since somebody put the following lines in the Makefile:
# If you know what you are doing, you may disable this!
.if ${OSVERSION} > 300003
FORBIDDEN= perl is in system
.endif
Under the assumption that I knew what I was doing (perhaps a silly one, I'll
admit), I commented out the lines and tried again. This time, I got
# make
>> perl-5.005.tar.gz is not in /usr/ports/lang/perl5/distinfo.
>> Either /usr/ports/lang/perl5/distinfo is out of date, or
>> perl-5.005.tar.gz is spelled incorrectly.
*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.
["Error code" and "Stop" six more times]
# _
That was odd, I thought to myself. Why's it looking for perl-5.005.tar.gz in
distinfo? So I tried this:
# make -n
cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5 && make 'CKSUMFILES+=perl-5.005.tar.gz' configure
cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5 && make 'CKSUMFILES+=perl-5.005.tar.gz' real-build
# _
Can't perl-5.005_03 (at /usr/bin/perl) and perl-5.6.1 (at /usr/local/bin/perl)
coexist on the same system?
