Hi there,

I am running portmanager and updating all dependencies along the way. I 
am finding that perl gets updated to the system version.  I want to keep 
it to version 5.8. . FreeBSD4-11 is my OS.

so in order to get portmanager to stop updating perl do I add the 
following to /usr/local/etc/portmanager/pm-020.conf

---- snip ---

IGNORE|lang/perl5.8|


--- snip ---


will that work?

Cheers,

Noah
