Problem installing perl

Hi,

I am trying to install perl (well, to change some compile options) and I receive the following error:

Code: 
[root@server /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8]# make install
===>  Installing for perl-threaded-5.8.9
===>   Generating temporary packing list
===>  Checking if lang/perl5.8 already installed
===>   An older version of lang/perl5.8 is already installed (perl-5.8.9)
      You may wish to ``make deinstall'' and install this port again
      by ``make reinstall'' to upgrade it properly.
      If you really wish to overwrite the old port of lang/perl5.8
      without deleting it first, set the variable "FORCE_PKG_REGISTER"
      in your environment or the "make install" command line.
*** Error code 1

I tried make deinstall, ... but nothing helps, I receive the same error each time...
Code: 
perl-5.8.9          Practical Extraction and Report Language

Help?
 
Hi,

thanks for the reply.

I tried pkgdb -F, it found 2 duplicate perl modules (one from ports and cpan), now it is fine. I still receive the same error....

ports are up to date, I receive warnings though when I try to upgrade:
Code: 
[root@server /usr/ports/lang]# portupgrade -ai

[root@server /usr/ports/lang]#

Maybe the problem is that I installed some perl modules from ports and some via cpan...?
 
well, portupgrade -fi resolved it...
Code: 
[root@server /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8]# portupgrade -fi

OK? [yes] yes
I changed perl to threaded, which I guess caused problems. Maybe I should first deinstall with old options and then reinstall with new one?

anyway, it wors now, so thanks for answers.

Did you edit pkgtools.conf?

# HOLD_PKGS: array
#
# This is a list of ports you don't want portupgrade(1) to upgrade,
# portversion(1) to suggest upgrading, or pkgdb(1) to fix.
# You can use wildcards ("ports glob" and "pkgname glob").
# -f/--force with each command will override the held status.

Yep.. This is what pkgtools.conf says (by default):
HOLD_PKGS = [
'bsdpan-*',
]
Click to expand...

If possible try to use the fbsd port.. The CPAN installed modules aren't updated with any of the pkgtools. You will have to use CPAN to update those.
 
I think I'm having a similar issue probably because I installed a few modules via cpan, is it a problem to remove them and then try to install via ports?

Code: 
# portupgrade -R bsdpan-TimeDate

[Exclude up-to-date packages . done]

Oh, wait, p5-TimeDate is probably something that came in with php5 or something related to it, not ports. Any idea how I can fix that? Thanks.
