Hi, I just upgraded to perl 5.6 using perl5 port. However some of my scripts are not working due to compatibility problems. How do I revert back to the system (base) version of perl that comes with 4.10. Tejas Kokje

Reverse the order of these steps, since deinstalling the perl port will deinstall the use.perl command. Richard Coleman rcoleman@criticalmagic.com

I think it was Matthew Seaman, who posted here nice guide of upgrading existing perl modules to be usable with new (port) version of perl. I will look into it... ah here it is: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2004-April/043400.html Also Kent Stewart (in reply to Matthew's posting) has mentioned that one has to upgrade also automake due to its need for perl. Anyway there is a command to revert to previous (system) version of perl. Just type use.perl system and you are good to go.

Hi, Can anybody tell me how to downgrade the ports. I upgraded p5-GD port to 2.16 . However some of our applications require p5-GD 2.07 version. So I need to roll back to 2.07 from 2.16. Tejas Kokje
