[Fink-beginners] perl580

[jfm <jf...@jf...>]

Hi all,

I've put into the unstable tree a number of new pm-packages,
allowing to build the perlmods with the recent perl580 package.

Those pm-packages do not at all offer the same protection
against missing dependencies as you are used to in fink.
Hence only people who know what they are doing should
in the current circumstances try to build against perl580.

If there remain some courageous souls, they are strongly
encouraged to run, before any other build, the following
command _ which should eliminate most risks :

fink list -i -t | cut -f2 | egrep '560|561|580|581' |
sed -r 's, 560|561|580|581,580,g' | xargs fink list -n -t | cut -f2
| grep 580 | grep -v 'system-perlFLAV' | xargs fink install

The whole command is to be put on a single line ...
