Hello,
I'm new to the port collection and updating ports with CVSup but I managed to
update the ports of my FreeBSD 4.10 system using CVSup.
Now, I want to upgrade Perl to version 5.6 and I notice there is a perl5 port
in the list I`ve seen on:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.10-release/
But this port is not on my system and to understand how to get perl5 in my
port collection, I searched on the Internet for several hours without success.
Can you refer me a specific page or a chapter in the FreeBSD manual that
describe how to do it?
Well see... the thing is is that perl is part of the base system in 4.x
(and quasi-base in 5.x), FreeBSD is dependent on it. I like to know this
question too, what are the pros/cons and procedure for updating perl to
ether 5.6.x or 5.8.x
