Greetings again. I was amazed not to see anything in the archives about this. FreeBSD 4.3 comes with Perl 5.005 installed. I need to run Perl 5.6 for some of the programs I'm bringing over. In /usr/ports/lang/perl5, it says: >This port is marked FORBIDDEN as it conflics badly with the Perl5 >that is in the 'base' system. Sysadmins and users who know how to >override this may do so, and must accept the risk of doing so. That's not very helpful. Is there a known safe way of installing Perl 5.6 and keeping the two installations parallel? I'm happy to have it installed as /usr/bin/perl5.6 or something like that. --Paul Hoffman To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
