You should read UPDATING in your ports directory, there you'll find the instructions on how to update perl: 20050201: AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5 and lang/perl5.8 lang/perl5 has been updated to 5.6.2, and lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.6. you should update everything depending on perl, that is: * first, upgrade your perl installation (use either lang/perl5 or lang/perl5.8, the latter being recommended); * for FreeBSD 4.X, run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.6 or 5.6.2; this step is not needed on FreeBSD 5.X and FreeBSD -CURRENT; * run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like : portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* |tail +4; \ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 \ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u` This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards by hand.

Failures after upgrading perl
I have a 4.7-based system I use as a mail gateway. Yesterday I did a portupgrade of perl from 5.6.1 to 5.6.2. Today I find that I have no incoming mail, due to mimedefang no longer functioning: >Feb 9 09:56:39 highland mimedefang-multiplexor[91186]: Slave 0 stderr: Can't >locate MIME/Base64.pm in @INC (@INC contains: >/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2/mach >/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.2 >/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd >/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl >/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.2/BSDPAN /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.2/mach >/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.2 .) at >/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/MIME/Words.pm line 85.
