When maia mailguard run cron jobs, I got message from cron: Argument "2.49_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.20/forks.pm line 1570.
This bug is a showstopper here. won't build: automake autoconf any p5 port AFAIK this affects a great minority or the majority of ports I've installed. won't run gprename (etc etc) especially CLI ones that depend on perl I've posted details to the freebsd-perl and freebsd-questions lists within the past week...

This is a "use locale" delta between 5.18 5.20 from what I've read on the web. Also, it may be absent on systems where LANG and/or LC_ALL are set to where it does not make problems. and/or all modules in site_perl should be modified to the correct behavior, one of which may be adding "use locale" ... Totally inexperienced in all this -- so unsure of a fix.
Correctly assign to perl@
Marcus, should auto-assigner have correctly assigned this to perl@? If so, there may be an issue with port names that include dots (.)
You must have quite a strange setup. Does this work ? $ perl -e 'print 3 >= 2.49_01' 1 $ (for me, it produces the same result on 5.8, 5.18, 5.20 and 5.22) what do you have in your environment ?
and your /etc/make.conf
Do J B's first & second replies are related to OP (problem in fork.pm)? If not, J B should file a separate PR, and J B's comments should be culled from this PR(200370).
The "X isn't numeric" message is reproducible when apparently-non-number is quoted && warnings pragma is in effect ... # perl -Mwarnings -e 'print 3 >= "2.49_01" ' Argument "2.49_01" isn't numeric in numeric ge (>=) at -e line 1. 1 It is certainly not surprising to find a program/module version being quoted.

But it's still only a warning, it does not break anything, it's Perl telling you "you're coding like a moron, but I get what you mean" : $ perl -Mwarnings -e 'print 3 <=> "2.49_01" ' Argument "2.49_01" isn't numeric in numeric comparison (<=>) at -e line 1. 1 $ perl -Mwarnings -e 'print 2 <=> "2.49_01" ' Argument "2.49_01" isn't numeric in numeric comparison (<=>) at -e line 1. -1 $
The problem is in forks module itself ... https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=102730 ... mentioned in still open 3-month old ticket.
(In reply to J. B. from comment #1) > Invalid version format (non-numeric data) at > /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.20/vars.pm line 3. What is on line 3 of that file ? if it's not "use 5.006;" you have a different file than should be. If it's the same, could you run "make -dx" and tell us what is the last command that's run, it should be something like this: /usr/bin/env ac_cv_path_PERL=/usr/local/bin/perl ac_cv_path_PERL_PATH=/usr/local/bin/perl XDG_DATA_HOME=/usr/ports/devel/p5-AnyData/work XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/usr/ports/devel/p5-AnyData/work HOME=/usr/ports/devel/p5-AnyData/work SHELL=/bin/sh CONFIG_SHELL=/bin/sh PERL_EXTUTILS_AUTOINSTALL=--skipdeps /usr/local/bin/perl5.20.2 ./Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=site CC=cc 'CCFLAGS=-O2 -pipe -march=pentium4 -fstack-protector -fno-strict-aliasing' PREFIX=/usr/local INSTALLPRIVLIB=/usr/local/lib INSTALLARCHLIB=/usr/local/lib (I ran it in devel/p5-AnyData, but it should be similar.) Does it run /usr/local/bin/perl5.20.2 ?

Mmmm, yes, sorry, I got mixed up with the two problems reported here, the forks.pm warning is annoying, but it's not a problem, everything still works: root@pkg-aragorn:/wrkdirs/usr/ports/devel/p5-forks/work/forks-0.36 # make test PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 /usr/local/bin/perl5.20.2 "-MExtUtils::Command::MM" "-MTest::Harness" "-e" "undef *Test::Harness::Switches; test_harness(0, 'blib/lib', 'blib/arch')" t/*.t t/forks00-requirements.t .. ok t/forks00-sigtrap.t ....... ok t/forks01.t ...............

Upgraded the v10 problematic system to an already-working r281990 (CURRENT). Perl is working again. FWIW even pkg is working, originally "pkg upgrade" had problems.
