You could do: portupgrade -rf perl p5-\* I'd imagine -r would mean all p5-* packages are included (since they depend on perl), but obviously that wasn't the case. If the version of FreeBSD is 4.x, then that means there is a perl in the base system, and thus all the p5-* packages probably didn't have perl listed as one of their dependencies. -- Robin Schoonover (aka End) # # There are two kinds of adhesive tape: That which won't # stay on and that which won't come off. _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
