You said it yourself that you have a FreeBSD with 5.8.9: > I have just installed the latest FreeBSD version (7.2) > perl -v tells me that it is v5.8.9. So, instead of 'make install' do 'make deinstall' and then 'make reinstall'. Afterwards, you have to recompile any Perl module (p5- ports) you already have in your system, see /usr/ports/UPDATING. Same goes for CPAN installed modules. PS. Haven't I seen you on Padre mailing list? :) -- Cezary Morga "What is written without effort is in general read without pleasure." (Samuel Johnson)
