net-snmp perl re-install issue

I am having perl re-install issue when it comes to net-snmp. I am not sure what the issue is now, but it comes from this thread here that I was following. This issue was not present before I did try to downgrade perl down a version.

This error is still present in my system, but I am ignoring it since it seems that mrtg works anyway. I cannot now re-install net-snmp to account for change in version of perl.

Here is the error that I can when I try to run # make reinstall

Code:
install: installed UDP-MIB.txt in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs
install: installed NET-SNMP-PASS-MIB.txt in /usr/local/share/snmp/mibs

I am not sure if any more packages suffer from the same issue. I do however want this issue solved without having to re-install FreeBSD from start up. I am not sure why this error did start, but it did happen after I did remove perl-5.12 and moved to perl-5.14 as it was before.

Here is the list of the package affected when I did remove perl-5.14 first time around. I am re-installing every package on this list, expect p5-* packages as they where not re-installed when I was using perl-5.12 for a short time.

Code:
isc-dhcp42-server-4.2.5
net-snmp-5.7.2_2
p5-Locale-gettext-1.05_3
help2man-1.41.2
autoconf-2.69

ntp-4.2.6p5_2

p5-IO-Tty-1.10
p5-Authen-PAM-0.16_1
webmin-1.620_1
p5-SNMP_Session-1.13
p5-Socket6-0.23
p5-IO-Socket-INET6-2.69
p5-Crypt-CBC-2.32

p5-Digest-SHA1-2.13
p5-Digest-HMAC-1.03
p5-Net-SNMP-6.0.1
mrtg-2.17.4_3,1

Thanks for the help.
 
This is a wrong library path in the system, I am not sure how to fix it properly. It turns out that net-snmp is searching for version 5.12.4 of Perl, not version 5.14.2_3.

Trying to re-install this Perl scripts gives me the following errors.

Code:
p5-SNMP_Session-1.13
p5-Socket6-0.23
p5-IO-Socket-INET6-2.69
p5-Crypt-CBC-2.32
p5-Crypt-DES-2.05
p5-Digest-SHA1-2.13
p5-Digest-HMAC-1.03
p5-Net-SNMP-6.0.1
p5-Net-SSLeay-1.54
p5-IO-Tty-1.10
p5-Authen-PAM-0.16_1
p5-XML-Parser-2.41_1

When I try to re-install any of this packages, at least the ones I have tested. I get this error.

Code:

I just got this same issue building Perl 5.14 from ports. And the error in my case, was that my motherboard had reset the date to four years ago, and since the Makefile files were created with this old date there is this check, which detected this file being older, and creates it all over again. But since it's always the same old date, it never compiled properly.

The solution (in my case, if anybody is running through this) was to reset the date to the current time.
