Er, right. Sorry, I forgot, /opt/local/bin/perl is provided by perl5.8 not perl5. Either way, it looks like /opt/local/bin/perl is supposed to be there. MacPorts claims it installed it as part of your perl5.8 port, as expected. Is it, in fact, there? (If not, deactivate and then re-activate perl5.8.) What happens when you run it? Here's a simple test you can try: /opt/local/bin/perl -e 'print "hello\n"' _______________________________________________ macports-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.macosforge.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/macports-users
