So - we've got 2 major problems : 1) make ports dependent on Perl -and/or- a Perl module independent on the major version of Perl 2) make it possible for Perl modules to be installed in several versions of Perl As I see it, these are independent problems So, let's solve them one at a time in separate threads ;-) :-) -- Bjarne D Mathiesen København N ; Danmark ; Europa ---------------------------------------------------------------------- denne besked er skrevet i et totalt M$-frit miljø MacOS X 10.7.3 Lion ; 2.8GHz Intel Core i7 ; 16GB 1067MHz DDR3 _______________________________________________ macports-dev mailing list macports-dev@lists.macosforge.org http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-dev
