Reinstalling everything listed in `pkg info -q -r perl5` like this is overkill. Perhaps that is why the method that used to be "portmaster -r perl5-" (20141126) is now using "portmaster -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.26`". Most of *.pm files installed in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.36/ use DynaLoader, so most ports that install it have a library linked to libperl.so.5.36. So, those ports are targeted for updating as per the procedure. Ports that are not targeted for updating in this procedure, but need to be reinstalled, seem to create a file named .packlist in /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.36/ directory. Port like p5-Text-CSV-2.03 (textproc/p5-Text-CSV) is such ports. Reinstalling all p5-* ports is slight but overkill. Port like p5-SGMLSpm-1.03_2 (textproc/p5-SGMLSpm) is such ports. It doesn't seem to have a file that involves the old version number. The only reason it doesn't have a .packlist could be because it hasn't been reinstalled in a long time :) Since perl scripts are byte-compiled and then executed, there should be no problem if a file in a running script is replaced. The new file will be used from the next run. Regards.
