Hello, I'd like to upgrade perl on my recently installed 4.10 box - the current perl version is 5.005_03. Do I download the source and build/install it - and then re-install the perl modules? Or is there a cvsup/portupgrade way of doing this? I have cvsup'd (ports-all tag=.) and portupgrade'd (arR) - but I still have the old perl. :-( Sorry, I'm new to freebsd. I have also cvsup'd (src-all) and rebuilt the kernel. Any suggestions and/or redirection appreciated. The box appears to work fine - I'd just like to have a newer perl Thanks, Warren
