Posted 05.03.2007 | Updated 05.03.2007 | Contributed by Andy Mallett & Ben Gibb


Earlier versions of FreeBSD (5.4) came with PERL support preinstalled. However with FreeBSD 6.x, PERL support must be installed prior to configuration.

Run the following commands..

sysinstall
configure
packages
CD/DVD

Down arrow to Perl5 and press Enter
Use spacebar to select perl-5.8.8 - OK
Tab to Install - OK
X to exit - OK
X to exit the installer

You may now continue with the PERL Configuration..
