is perl available from macports?

[Tena Sakai]

Thank you, Daniel.
I will try rsync in a day or two.
Ryan suggested Carbon Copy Cloner, which I used a couple
days ago and it seems to work well.  It seems to want to take
up the whole disk/volume.  One feature I liked of psync was
that I could tell it a file (with the name of current date) and
keep more than one copy stashed.  I haven't found a way to
do so in Carbon Copy Cloner.  Maybe rsync is what I really
want.

you can use rsync (as it has been enhanced to save the stuff it used to not save). I think psync development stalled around the time rsync gained fork/EA support.
