FreeBSD Port: Error Upgrading Perl 5.8.9
Usually I perform portupgrade daily on some of my FreeBSD Servers, not all at once of cause. This afternoon I came to a problem when performing upgrade for Perl 5.8.9 The upgrade was failed error show as below;
/bin/mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN/.
install -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.9/BSDPAN.pm /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN/BSDPAN.pm
install: /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8/work/BSDPAN-5.8.9/BSDPAN.pm: No such file or directory
*** Error code 71
Somehow it shown BSDPAN.pm is missing, so I try to search for the file;
shell> locate BSDPAN.pm
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN/BSDPAN.pm
Try to crave for more information for the file;
shell> ls -al /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN/BSDPAN.pm
ls: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9/BSDPAN/BSDPAN.pm: No such file or directory
File not found, I guess something is wrong with the Perl 5.8.9 Makefile. After a while, I did portsnap fetch update to get latest port tree update.
I guess there were some error with the Makefile, tried to do diff after I got the latest Perl Makefile and previous error Makefile;
shell> diff Makefile.perl.1 Makefile.perl.2

Problem fixed after few hours, the BSDPAN_WRKSRC was configured on the wrong path. Hope this mistake won’t happen again
