I just updated my perl5.8 from 5.8.6_2 to 5.8.7 and I can't get the
perl-after-upgrade utility to run. It's really baffling me and I'm sure
I'll learn something new in this, but I've run out of ideas. I am logged
in as root. I've tried "./perl-after-upgrade" (in the
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files) directory and it says
"./perl-after-upgrade: Command not found" I thought maybe it was
something with the dashes in the name, so I renamed it with the same
result. I copied it to my /root subdirectory and tried the original
name and a new name with the same result, even though a couple scripts I
wrote run just fine from /root. I checked the permissions and they are
-rwxr-xr-x.
The only thing that "worked" was to run "sh perl-after-upgrade" but I
get an error:
root@lion:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files# sh perl-after-upgrade
=pod: not found
=head1: not found

And, if I type "sh perl-after-upgrade -f" I get the EXACT same output
as above, leading me to believe it is ignoring the -f option.
I'm stumped. or is this the expected output and I'm too dense to
understand it?
