Up till now I've kept Perl on my machine at 5.8.9. I now see from UPDATING that upgrading to 5.10 is recommended.
However, when I follow the instructions, I get the following error: laptop# portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.9_3 ---> Upgrading 'perl-5.8.9_3' to 'perl-5.10.1' (lang/perl5.10) ---> Building '/usr/ports/lang/perl5.10' ===> Cleaning for perl-5.10.1 ===> perl-5.10.1 conflicts with installed package(s): perl-5.8.9_3 They install files into the same place.

Thanks in advance.
