[ please CC me since I'm not subscribed to the list] I am running FreeBSD-4.3 (RELENG_4_3) I see that perl-5.6.1 is still marked as FORBIDDEN in the ports. However from browsing the archives of this and other lists I understand that the problem with 5.6.1 is that some modules don't work with this version (mostly due to bad checking on the perl version). I've seen mentioned that perl 5 goes deep into the 'base' system, so it is not advisable to install 5.6.1 over 5.00x. Is this still valid? Is this related to the problems with modules, or is this related to other reasons? Is it safe to have both versions installed together? Perhaps it is safer to have /usr/local/perl56 and use the following at the top of each script: #!/usr/local/perl56/bin/perl ? (would I have to install all modules again in the new location?)
