freebsd-questions:
I am building a FreeBSD 10.1 computer and would like to install Perl 5.
Several ports are available:
2016-06-03 20:29:31 toor at p42800e ~
# pkg search perl | egrep ^perl5
perl5-5.20.3_13 Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5-devel-5.25.1.91 Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5.18-5.18.4_22 Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5.22-5.22.2_1 Practical Extraction and Report Language
perl5.24-5.24.0 Practical Extraction and Report Language
I've heard of perlbrew, but have never tried it. I don't see a FreeBSD
package, but I do see a port (that wants perl5-5.20.3_13):
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=perlbrew&stype=all&sektion=all
What is the best way to get a robust Perl 5 installation on FreeBSD 10.1?
TIA,
David
