Hello, Kris. >> Also why is such an old version of perl 5.003 still in the freebsd base when >> 5.8 is out ?
KK> Because 5.8 is not backwards-compatible with 5.00503, and updating the KK> base system version would break a lot of scripts used on installed KK> FreeBSD machines. You can trivially install perl 5.8 from the ports KK> collection if you want to use it. And what about 5.6? -- Regards, Vladimir mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
