Greetings all!
I'm trying to update a pair of FreeBSD host platforms connecting to a new Dynamic DNS providor.. On one, (FreeBSD 12.0), everything is working fine. On the other, FreeBSD 12.1, I messed up somehow..
I installed first via /usr/ports, then I messed up the config file, but the service started even though my config was busted. I then discovered the /usr/ports version was 3.8, but the packaged binary is version 3.9, so I removed the /usr/port version and used thepackage manager to install the pre-built package.
But now, when I attempt to light up the service, I get an error that I don't understand and don't really know how to address..
I am relatively certain this is a simple PERL issue, but I don't know ANYTHING about perl to speak of.. The google gods haven't seen fit to show me anything that I can apply to this issue..
I did try backing BACK down to the /usr/ports version, same error, than back up to binary package version and the error remains unchanged and I remain confused...
Anyone have any thoughts on what my problem might be?
Thanks so very much for your time!
Sincerely,
-ET-
