According to /usr/ports/updating:
If you are NOT using the default version of Perl (as of right now, it is
5.20) you MUST add a line setting the version you are using to your
/etc/make.conf, to preserve /usr/local/bin/perl:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl5=5.xx
===
Background info:
I couldn't care less about Perl but apparently some of my packages
have installed it as a dependency.
# pkg info | grep perl
perl5.16-5.16.3_22 Practical Extraction and Report Language
===
My question:
1. Am I using the default version of Perl? (Presumably I am not
because UPDATING says the default version is 5.20 while I have 5.16
installed)
2. If not, then which version should I specify in make.conf
(presumably 5.16 but I have no particular interest in 5.16 or any
version for that matter)
Thank you,
Chris
