I would tend to upgrade perl first; have a look in UPDATING to see how it's done. That'll upgrade the majority of your ports too. You may also have a small problem if you're still running XFree86 (which you probably will if you've had your system a while). Look in UPDATING for that too, and then just do a portupgrade -aP. Good luck, and I hope your processor's properly cooled! Chris -- A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting.
