According to /usr/ports/updating: If you are NOT using the default version of Perl (as of right now, it is 5.20) you MUST add a line setting the version you are using to your /etc/make.conf, to preserve /usr/local/bin/perl: DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl5=5.xx === Background info: I couldn't care less about Perl but apparently some of my packages have installed it as a dependency. # pkg info | grep perl perl5.16-5.16.3_22 Practical Extraction and Report Language === My question: 1. Am I using the default version of Perl? (Presumably I am not because UPDATING says the default version is 5.20 while I have 5.16 installed) 2. If not, then which version should I specify in make.conf (presumably 5.16 but I have no particular interest in 5.16 or any version for that matter) Thank you, Chris
