You may be running into the situation where something Perl needs can't 
run because of mixed libraries.

For the 7-8 major version upgrade, it's usually easier and faster to 
save your pkg_info output, backup /usr/local/etc, and pkg_delete 
everything.  Then update the ports tree and start installing ports from 
scratch.

There may be a way to automate that, like feeding the saved pkg_info 
output to portupgrade.  I haven't done it often enough to investigate.
