I get the impression that when portupgrade automatically runs "use.perl port" because when I run "perl -v" I am seeing the correct perl version. I was also able to move other modules by using the "perl-after-upgrade" script outlined in the "UPDATING" document and a manual process that was posted here a couple of weeks ago by another list member.Tim Hogan wrote:So the bottom line is that I love the ports because I am by no means a programer. As long as I can type make install I am good to go. The problem is that I just tried to do an upgrade on some ports that were out of date and I am now getting the error below. A previous version was installed but now the new version will not install. How do I fix this? Thanks ahead of time for any help you can provide...The odds are that you will need to install /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8 and do a "use.perl port" in order to build many perl modules, since they expect a newer version of perl than what you seem to have. Look at /usr/ports/CHANGES for more help and suggestions on how to upgrade perl and dependant perl ports in a reasonable fashion.
The funny part is that all of the other modules moved or reinstalled with out any problems except for "p5-DBD-mysql" and I can't seem to find what port needed this as a dependency. So far nothing is complaining that I can find so maybe I shouldn't worry about this port.
