Re: MacPort: how to port perl?

Do you have an issue of Perl versions here -- 5.8.6 having been  
upgraded to 5.8.8?  I never solved the issue myself; ultimately I  
just stayed with the OS X standard or 5.8.8 and removed MacPorts.   
Would love for some clued in explanations ;)

I can not remember the details of what I was trying but I guess it  
was less important then having a fully 'aware' Perl installation.
