Yes, I did

Err, yes there are files.

I thought I found the culprit :

[root@numenor ~]# pkg which 
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.30/ModPerl/BuildMM.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.30/ModPerl/BuildMM.pm was 
installed by package ap24-mod_perl2-2.0.11,3

ap24-mod_perl2 does not compile actually, see my previous posts, left 
unanswered

But if I remove ap24-mod_perl2, still wants to downgrade Perl

[root@numenor ~]# pkg upgrade

But :

Is OK

Thanks,
