Updated perl - broke stuff

[Paul Schmehl]

I maintain a small hobby website on a volunteer basis.  (I do all the 
technical stuff - server maintenance, etc.)  I ran portupgrade today, and 
there was an update to perl.  (I'm using the ports perl.)  It broke the 
webserver.  I had to deinstall and reinstall www/p5-libwww, www/mod_perl and 
www/apache13-modssl to get it working again.

When I first tried to install p5-libwww and mod_perl, both of them failed 
because they couldn't find perl-5.8.5.  I ran use.perl port and then they 
both built fine and installed.

Running pkg_info -R perl-5.8.6_2 seems to indicate that everything else had 
its dependencies updated.  Is there something missing in those two ports? 
The rest seemed to get their dependencies updated just fine during the build 
of perl.
