Then I would recommend that you install the ports version of perl - /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/
Whatever is easiest; I do not feel like rebuilding the src, but I don't know if I need to.
I am trying to install a perl CPAN module:
mx1# perl Makefile.PL Perl 5.006 required--this is only version 5.00503, stopped at Makefile.PL line 3. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at Makefile.PL line 3. mx1#
All I know is that I need to update to a newer version.
It might be helpful if you described what you're trying to accomplish.
To update to a newer version of Perl, so that I can install this date:calc CPAN module.
When you finish, you need to run use.perl port (read pkg-message), and you'll have to rebuild any ports you've already built that use perl since you will have changed the default perl installation.
