Sigh. That script predates the removal of perl from the base system, and was supposed to facilitate the switching between various perl versions. It still has its justification of existence on -STABLE, but on -CURRENT, it does not work well any more. What you got is likely links to nowhere, your perl wrapper binary was clobbered. Bottom line: if at all, it should only be used for "use.perl port", for the cases where the wrapper does not work as desired. -- Regards: Szilveszter ADAM Szombathely Hungary To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
