Seems alot of times the ports is outdated by a version or more. I mean if everyone is always saying its in the ports should they not be better upkeeped ? Also why is such an old version of perl 5.003 still in the freebsd base when 5.8 is out ? I am just curious. But for those that continually sing unix over ms praise you think that matters like this would be looked after so unixes would be easier for the common man/woman to use. again I am just curious. Not looking to offend or start some bs. I like my FreeBSD box. And the more I learn the more I like it. However at time, too many times windows is just easier to deal with. (newbie with a life that is). Thanks and please don't be offened. MdD
