On my NetBSD 3.0 their is no Perl package. I doubt that. The package is called `lang/perl5`, and has existed since 1997. The current 5.14 package may still support your old version -- I recently saw one frequently-updated package patching for a NetBSD <2.99 installation! And even if you cannot get the newest version of Perl, 5.8 is still pretty good to work with.	[reply] [d/l]

Just an FYI, NetBSD 3.0 is from 2005 and is no longer supported.	[reply]

Dear Marto, If NetBSD 3.0 is no longer supported by Perl, does their any method to port Perl? Why because as of now i can't change my OS version(3.0) higher to suit Perl pkg. Thanks	[reply]

I didn't say it wasn't supported by Perl. NetBSD (The operating system itself) is no longer supported. Which is hardly surprising. NetBSD Update: Also, you didn't reply to me when posting this, you replied to another post.	[reply]

Yes marto i agree with you. My task is to port Perl onto this version of NetBSD. The Perl version i am trying to port is 5.10.0 and following the steps describe in the first mail. I want to know whether i am correct or not?	[reply]
