--pf9I7BMVVzbSWLtt Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable In regard to the new Perl version, ports/UPDATING has of course been changed with some instructions on how to proceed. It includes some real voodoo which really shows the beauty of Unix. But wouldn't 'portupgrade -rf perl\*5.8.4' be much simpler? And if the user has a threaded Perl installed, the command listed in UPDATING won't work. --=20 I abhor a system designed for the "user", if that word is a coded pejorative meaning "stupid and unsophisticated". -- Ken Thompson - Unix is user friendly. However, it isn't idiot friendly. - Please CC me in all replies, even if I'm on the relevant list(s). --pf9I7BMVVzbSWLtt Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFAvShDk/lo7zvzJioRAngwAKCYH3YaWDY8ItRkOqSBU9oiUvvZBgCbBgx9 b53UGWKYCTpMZfK2z3T/+oY= =lA4Q -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --pf9I7BMVVzbSWLtt--
