According to UPDATING as of 20161103, "The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.24." However, when I follow the instructions there to switch, I get the following message (after running portsnap fetch update manually even though it runs automatically every night): " This is *NOT* the DEFAULT perl version It will *NOT* install /usr/local/bin/perl It will *ONLY* install /usr/local/bin/perl5.24.1 The default Perl version currently is 5.20." Yes, I added "DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl=5.24" to /etc/make.conf, and grep confirms that that is the only incidence of perl in the file. Thanks, Jim Trigg
