So what does that mean for the future of Perl-5.18 & FreeBSD? I haven't seen any unusual chatter in other forums for other OSs regarding a problem with Perl-5.18. Hell, even SlashDot has not had any negative chatter that I am aware of and they are always the first to jump on any software problem, real or imaginary. Is this a FreeBSD "specific" problem and if so, what is being done to eradicate it? -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
