[smokeping-users] PERL Problems - PLEASE HELP

[Schalk Erasmus]

Hi,

I do hope someone can assist.

Since last night, my SmokePing Server doesn't want to work anymore, after I
tried to install MRTG Graphs, and installed PERL 5.6.1 from
/usr/ports/lang/perl5/make install (since MRTG wanted PERL 5.1.x or
higher) - was running Perl 5.005

**********
# perl -v
**********

This is perl, v5.6.1 built for i386-freebsd

for some reason SmokePing still wants to use Perl 5.005!

I tried various things, BUT DID not change the Config files (or deleted my
data).

I also tried to run /usr/ports/net/smokeping/make deinstall and then
reinstall (still no luck).

Problem I get (based on Apache Error log):
