I innocently decided to upgrade my rubygems after reading Scott Boms’ blog
. I wanted the gems outdated fu. Now typically one can simply gem update --system

I use MacPorts, so I decided to do a quick sudo port upgrade rb-rubygems and it starts installing Perl. Huh? It’s rubygems!? That left me scratching my head…

Turns out that the portfile now has a dependency on autoconf which, in turn, depends on Perl. Wow. I hope it’s worth it. Last time I built rubygems by hand it wasn’t that tough…

So now I have perl 5.8.8. What can you do with that?[me: ducks]
