This is pretty much the right thing to do. You need to delete the
perl-5.6.1_15 port, *and then re-install perl-5.8.2_2* and run
'use.perl port' again. That will make perl-5.8.2 your default perl.
Use pkgdb -F to fix up the dependencies.
Then you may feel the need to re-install all perl ports which have
installed anything under /usr/local/lib/perl5/{,site_perl/}5.6.1 in
order to keep everything tidy -- that'll be pretty much every port
with a p5- preffix, plus a few oddballs tike rrdtool, pdflib,
ImageMagick -- judicious use of pkg_which(1) will help you there.
Cheers,
Matthew
