installation of perl module in freebsd 7.3

Hello,
We have perl 5.10.0 installed in freebsd 7.3. I tried to install perl's expect module by the command [cmd=]pkg_add -r p5-Expect[/cmd] And the error message was something like the following:

Code: 
An older version of Expect-1.21 is already installed and that p5-Expect requires at least perl 5.10.1

The problem is that we have to use perl 5.10.0 and have no other option and also need that expect module installed to customize that s/w.

I am a new user of freebsd. If that may cause my failure to find the solution, I am sorry. But it would be great if somebody can help me to figure out this.

Thanks
Azad
 
Actually when I gave that command (i.e. pkg_add ... ..), I found that it tries to fetch automatically that Expect module from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.3-release/Latest/.

And the module which is given in that website "p5-Expect.tbz" contains dependency on the perl 5.10.1 (you can find it if you open the file structure of that zipped file).

So I was trying to install some expect module which do not have that dependency on perl 5.10.1.

Thanks
Azad
