libutil.so.5 not found while Tty.so asks for it

I'm trying to run a perl script on FreeBSD. This script tries to access libutil.so.5, while I have libutil.so.7 linked from libutil.so in

/usr/lib/ . The error shown is as follows:
Code:
Can't load '/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/mach/auto/IO/Tty/Tty.so' for module IO::Tty: Shared object "libutil.so.5" not found, 

required by "Tty.so" at /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.8/mach/DynaLoader.pm line 230
DynaLoader line 230 is as follows:

Code:
    # Many dynamic extension loading problems will appear to come from
    # this section of code: XYZ failed at line 123 of DynaLoader.pm.
    # Often these errors are actually occurring in the initialisation
    # C code of the extension XS file. Perl reports the error as being
    # in this perl code simply because this was the last perl code
    # it executed.

    my $libref = dl_load_file($file, $module->dl_load_flags) or
        croak("Can't load '$file' for module $module: ".dl_error());
I have tried the following things, which didn't prove to be useful:

1. Created a new libutil.so.5 in /usr/lib/ and linked it to libutil.so.5 -> /lib/libutil.so, where already libutil.so -> /lib/libutil.so.7 is

there. This didn't work.
2. Reinstalled perl modules several times and that too didn't work.
3. Installed the latest perl version perl5.10.0 and ran the perl script with this version, problem was still there.

Can you please advise what should I do to alleviate this problem? I don't know how to install the libutils port. So, couldn't try that out.

Since this file is asked by the Tty.so, which can't be edited using text editor, is there any other way so that it asks for libutil.so.7

instead of 5?

The script that I was trying to run is the following: it basically tries to reboot the router connected to the serial port of the FreeBSD

machine.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

Hopefully it's devel/p5-IO-Tty. Remove that port (and that symlink you created) and rebuild using the port. Don't use a package. Or install misc/compat5x. Libutil.so.5 is part of FreeBSD 5, you seem to have 7.

I added the FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1 line in the Makefile in /usr/ports/devel/p5-IO-Tty

Code:
PORTNAME=       IO-Tty
PORTVERSION=    1.07
CATEGORIES=     devel perl5
MASTER_SITES=   CPAN
PKGNAMEPREFIX=  p5-
FORCE_PKG_REGISTER=1

and did make install clean

Please see the following logs during installation:

Now the problem is even more serious. I can't run the script at all. it gives the following error:

Code:
Cannot create a new IO::Tty from fd 4: Bad file descriptor at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/V6evalRemote.pm line 637
NG
  -> internal error

the line above is the following:
Code:
$Remote = Expect->spawn("$TermCmd");

It seems the script can't log into the router. What to do now? Is there any way of undoing this all?
 
Well, finally I figured out that my IO port was outdated, version 1.07, I upgraded it to 1.08 using the following:

Code:
portupgrade -fRv p5-IO-Tty

and it worked after that.
