pkg-add - package insists on old version of Perl

2011-06-27 Thread Joe in MPLS
I am trying to install the Amanda server package. I am running FreeBSD 8.2 with Perl 5.12.3. The package lists Perl 5.10.1 as a dependency and since my newer version of Perl conlicts with the older version the install fails. pkg_add with -f just tries to force the installation of the older
