The situation is: running 4-stable, with perl 5.6 from ports, with lots of packages which depend on it. Now I need to install an application that requires perl5.8! Is there a way to switch over to 5.8 without breaking everything? I'm asking this because I see two different ports in the tree: perl5, which installs 5.6 and perl5.8 which apparently has what I need, but portupgrade doesn't understand it (tries to upgrade 5.6 to a newer port revision). I tried installing the perl5.8 port (which gets me three versions of perl installed, *sigh*), but existing applications couldn't find needed modules. -- What part of "Ph'nglui mglw'nath Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn" don't you understand?Received on Mon Jun 14 2004 - 13:43:08 UTC
