#16252: ghc does not let me user perl5.10 -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: lee@laylward.com | Owner: gwright@macports.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Port Enhancements Component: ports | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ghc perl -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Comment (by afb@macports.org): Replying to [comment:2 jmr@macports.org]:
It would work, except that AFAIK perl5.10 does not install ${prefix}/bin/perl, which is what the perl5 portgroup relies on.
If you edit the ${prefix}/bin/perl binary (to be a link to perl5.10.0 instead of perl5.8.8), you would be able to use perl5.10 if the bin:perl dependency style was used. `perl_select` or not. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/16252#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
