FreeBSD 5.3 Perl port problem

[deneme]

Datacenter says that

"FreeBSD 5.3 an older version of Perl in the ports collection. I can't get Plesk to install without the correct version of Perl. "


Is it true?
What is the solution?

I found solution

The way I would do this is:

cd /usr
rm -R ports
fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/p...ts/ports.tar.gz
tar zxvf ports.tar.gz && rm ports.tar.gz

Then follow through the instructions to upgrade perl


1. cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
2. make deinstall (removes perl5.8.6)
3. make reinstall (hurray! now we have 5.8.7)

Sorry full ports path is here


cd /usr
rm -R ports
fetch ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports/ports.tar.gz
tar zxvf ports.tar.gz && rm ports.tar.gz

cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
make deinstall
make reinstall
