Well, I see the following ways (well, some of them anyways): 1) Fix 1.38 p-5.005_03-[in]compatibily issues, shall this be clean enough; that is, only apply a fix if building for -STABLE. Alternatively, bug DBI guys about breaking p-5.005_03 and ask them to fix this ;-); 2) Repocopy p5-DBI to p5-DBI-137, carrying 1.37 version, and use it on -STABLE instead of p5-DBI; 3) Upgrade perl to 5.6 on -STABLE *grin*; 4) Require installation of Perl 5.6 from ports on -STABLE when building p5-DBI. ./danfe
