problem with perl version

[yo _]

After installing the newest perl port, at the command line type:

use.perl port

and FreeBSD will now default to using the ports and consequently latest 
version of perl. Conversely, to use the built-in system version of perl 
type:

use.perl system

Hope that helps out!
