Hi all,

I get this error message when upgrading from p5-FreeBSD-Portindex-2.6 to 2.8:

OS = FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE

Thanks for any assistance.

You are right (stupid question from me). But how do I make the upgrade from Perl V5.008009 to the latest version (best practice)?

Thanks,

  lang/perl5.14 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
  lang/perl5.12, that is:

  Portupgrade users:
    0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
        pkgdb -Ff

    1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.14):
        env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.14 -f perl-5.12.\*

    2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
        portupgrade -fr perl

  Portmaster users:
        portmaster -o lang/perl5.14 lang/perl5.12

        Conservative:
        portmaster p5-

        Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
        portmaster -r perl-

  Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to
        specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.

However, this suggest updating to 5.14, do NOT do that. Currently 5.14 is causing problems with some ports. Follow the directions but replace 5.14 with 5.12.
