Perl 5.32 currently still is the default for the portstree: https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk#n107 Perl 5.36 has been released, which means, Perl 5.32 is end of support and only gets updates best effort. See: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy#MAINTENANCE-AND-SUPPORT Quote: "We "officially" support the two most recent stable release series. 5.30.x and earlier are now out of support. As of the release of 5.36.0, we will "officially" end support for Perl 5.32.x, other than providing security updates as described below. To the best of our ability, we will attempt to fix critical issues in the two most recent stable 5.x release series. Fixes for the current release series take precedence over fixes for the previous release series. To the best of our ability, we will provide "critical" security patches / releases for any major version of Perl whose 5.x.0 release was within the past three years. We can only commit to providing these for the most recent .y release in any 5.x.y series." IMHO Perl 5.34 should be the new default and there should be an exp-run asap. Thanks for taking a look at it!
(In reply to Dani I. from comment #0) According to https://perldoc.perl.org/perlpolicy the 5.36 series is the latest stable release, is there any reason not to switch to 5.36?
Feel free to do so. I just tought, that would be a bigger step and therefor would need some more testing and time. Also 5.36.1 is quite fresh and has only been release some weeks ago (2023-04-23): https://dev.perl.org/perl5/news/

Exp-run with version 5.34 looks fine
Any progress..?
Bump
