Is it my only option? > If so, it should be somehow indicated in fetchyahoo port (perl 5.6 dependancy?). I've got the same problem with fetchyahoo-2.8.0 on FreeBSD 4.8R. I don't know enough about Perl to write a workaround though, and don't feel confident installing lang/perl5 (or lang/perl5.8) as that may break something else. I'm a bit paranoid about these things though. $ which perl /usr/bin/perl $ perl -v This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for i386-freebsd "bytes.pm was introduced with 5.6." - http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.6.2/lib/ExtUtils/MakeMaker/bytes.pm Actually on second thoughts the lang/perl5 port will probably install itself to /usr/local/bin/perl, leaving /usr/bin/perl alone, in which case you can probably just edit /usr/local/bin/fetchyahoo and change #!/usr/bin/perl -w to #!/usr/local/bin/perl -w I don't have a spare PC to test this unfortunately. But it seems logical enough! Regards Andrew
