Can't get perl-after-upgrade to run

[Christopher Kelley]

I just updated my perl5.8 from 5.8.6_2 to 5.8.7 and I can't get the 
perl-after-upgrade utility to run.  It's really baffling me and I'm sure 
I'll learn something new in this, but I've run out of ideas. I am logged 
in as root.  I've tried "./perl-after-upgrade"  (in the 
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files) directory and it says 
"./perl-after-upgrade: Command not found"  I thought maybe it was 
something with the dashes in the name, so I renamed it with the same 
result.  I copied it to my /root subdirectory and tried the original 
name and a new name with the same result, even though a couple scripts I 
wrote run just fine from /root.  I checked the permissions and they are 
-rwxr-xr-x.

The only thing that "worked" was to run "sh perl-after-upgrade" but I 
get an error:


root at lion:/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/files# sh perl-after-upgrade
=pod: not found
=head1: not found

And, if I type "sh perl-after-upgrade -f"  I get the EXACT same output 
as above, leading me to believe it is ignoring the -f option.

I'm stumped.  or is this the expected output and I'm too dense to 
understand it?
