Comments on: perl 5.10 http://blogs.freebsdish.org/clsung/2008/04/11/17/ Just another clsung weblog Fri, 21 Nov 2008 08:38:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6 By: Rene Ladan http://blogs.freebsdish.org/clsung/2008/04/11/17/#comment-2466 Rene Ladan Fri, 25 Apr 2008 14:16:28 +0000 http://blogs.freebsdish.org/clsung/2008/04/11/17/#comment-2466 I think the current plan is to replace 5.8.8 by 5.10.0 and patch all the perl ports in one big commit? But what about making a 5.10.0 port next to the existing 5.8.8 port, and add 5.10.0 to the USE_PERL5 variable in Mk/bsd.perl.mk ? Maintainers can then migrate their ports to 5.10.0 themselves, without breaking existing functionality. Today there is a lang/perl5.8 port and a lang/perl5 (5.6.2) port, so adding a third perl port wouldn't hurt.

Perhaps it needs a portmgr build :) Just wondering, will it break a lot of stuff? Perhaps it needs a portmgr build :)
