#25904: [NEW] graphics/afterglow -------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: jul_bsd@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: submission | Status: assigned Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.9.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Port: afterglow | -------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): It might not be documented in the guide, but it is correct that you need to depend on a specific perl version. This is because you cannot know which variant of the perl5 port is installed, so you cannot know what version of perl the `perl` executable is. If you don't care, then you can just depend on bin:perl:perl5 and run `perl`, but if you do care (and if you need a specific perl module, then you have to care, because you have to install the perl module for the version of perl you're using), then you have to depend on port:perl5.16 or whatever version you decide, and p5.16 -text-csv etc. and run `perl5.16` instead of `perl`. Yes, this means if the default version of perl in MacPorts changes, the port should be updated to match that, if possible. This doesn't happen very often, however. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/25904#comment:9> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
