the "use.perl port" command? Because that doesn't seem to work, and my
jail did not come with a ports collection.
I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you!

Just a little side-note. After performing such an upgrade of Perl it's
likely that some applications will not work, since a lot of them expect
your old version of Perl. Recompiling those applications does the trick.
At least, that's what I noticed when upgrading from 5.8.6 to 5.8.7. And
just so you know, there are ALOT of applications dependent of Perl.
About your problem, you should really recompile Perl from the ports-tree
if you want to upgrade your Perl version. And after you did that, I
always rebooted the machine. I don't know how it will function without
rebooting the machine, or if it's even possible to upgrade Perl properly
without a reboot.
