#15833: perl modules: depend on Perl 5.x instead of Perl 5.8 ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Reporter: pmagrath@macports.org | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: MacPorts base enhancements Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Resolution: | Keywords: ------------------------------------+--------------------------------------- Comment (by raimue@macports.org): The perl5 port group uses the version of perl which is available at `${prefix}/bin/perl`. So as an immediate workaround(!) you can use this approach: {{{ sudo port install perl5.10 sudo ln -sf /opt/local/bin/perl5.10.0 /opt/local/bin/perl sudo port -fn upgrade p5-* }}} This should make all p5-* ports use perl5.10 instead of perl5.8. Note that this will break as soon as you upgrade perl5.8 as it will restore the `/opt/local/bin/perl` symlink. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/15833#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
