Attached is a proposed update to perl5.8.[[BR]] Most of the patches are no longer needed.
After I upgraded, {{{ /opt/local/bin/perl -e 'print join "\n", @INC' }}} showed that the 5.8.8 directories were still searched[[BR]] (so no revision increase of the p5-* ports would be needed).[[BR]] Can this be confirmed?
I just installed perl 5.8.9 via the updated port and checked the @INC path (both via "/opt/local/bin/perl -V" and via the above script) and it does not pull in the 5.8.8 paths (as expected, its version 5.8.9, not version 5.8.8). Also tested by 'use'ing p5-locale-gettext (which I have installed from perl5.8 @5.8.8), perl5.8 @5.8.9 fails to find it (again, as expected). Did your test pick up the (old) perl 5.8.8 instead of perl 5.8.9? The question is how this will impact users - I think if they uninstall their perl modules and rebuild them they'll be fine, otherwise they'll have ports that are registered as installed but are not available to the active perl binary. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/17803#comment:2> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
