Colleagues,

There are pkg 1.3.0 and Perl version 5.10.1_3 installed.
When I run 'pkg upgrade -n', it suggests perl will be INSTALLED and
not UPGRADED:

New packages to be INSTALLED:
        indexinfo: 0.2
        libidn: 1.28_1
        libsunacl: 1.0
        tevent: 0.9.21
        popt: 1.16
        tdb: 1.2.13,1
        libspf2: 1.2.10_1
        perl5: 5.16.3_11
        python2: 2_2
        pkgconf: 0.9.6

Will it nevertheless upgrade perl from 5.10 to 5.16, or will it try to
install 5.16 alongside with 5.10 and probably mess everything up?

Is "pkg set -o lang/perl5.10:lang/perl5.16" still required in pkg 1.3.0 ?
