hi everyone

When i installed FreeBSD 8.1 the other day i was just going to keep it a 
console-based system with no X just to do a bit of coding and stuff. I then 
installed perl 5.12. 

A few days later I changed my mind and installed X with a window manager and a 
few other things. Somehow - not sure when and why - one of the ports installed 
perl 5.10 as a dependancy setting itself as the default perl installation for 
the system so i ended with a mix of ports build against different perl 
versions. 

I've mostly fixed this by doing a: 

        `env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.12 -f perl-5.10.\*` 

followed by:
         
        `portupgrade -fr perl` (which didn't do anything :-/ ) 

or at least i thought i had, but it seems there are a few perl modules that 
aren't behaving and i think i need to just rebuild all the perl stuff again. I 
wondered, should i do this and if so if there's a particular ports-management 
tool that would be best suited to this?
