All the Perl ports I've installed (e.g p5-*) have just installed for me without any curses options menu. Although I'd describe you as a "Perl power user" and undoubtedly have more Perl ports installed than I have. > > I'm guessing from this description that I should be noticing these > and reporting it to someone? Are you talking about ports that depend on Perl? Can you give an example of a Perl port that asks you questions? Don't mean to be obstructive in any way; genuinely curious as AFAICR I haven't come across one. It could be that the questions asked of you when you install the ports are outside the scope of a curses interface i.e because you have to type something in rather than (un)tick an option. In that case, the -C option to portupgrade or the --batch option wont work. PS. Many thanks for your writings on Perl, they largely taught me what I know of Perl and led to many hours of enjoyment.
