I have the same:

# ll /usr/bin/perl*
lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel     19 May 26 20:49 /usr/bin/perl@ -> 
/usr/local/bin/perl

# /usr/local/bin/perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.4 built for i386-freebsd

so the 5.8 is now the default version, good, 1 of 2 problems solved.

It sure looks like the db3 pkg install is screwing up since

perl -MCPAN -e 'install BerkeleyDB'

... still gives:

BerkeleyDB.xs:74: #error db.h is from Berkeley DB 1.x - need at least 
Berkeley DB 2.6.4
*** Error code 1

I've deleted and re-installed that db3 pkg, but still get the same error.

thanks
Len
