It doesn't need to be the default perl installed by the system, so that should not be the hold up. When I talk to some linux folks they just laugh that we don't have a perl 5.10 yet. It is embarrassing, actually, to go out and evangelize FreeBSD when there are delays like this. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Vivek Khera, Ph.D. Khera Communications, Inc.
