There are two, depending on whether you are running perl 5.10 or perl
5.8. If it's 5.8, you MUST read 'man perl-after-upgrade' or it likely
that you will do the wrong thing as, by default, it does not fix
anything, it just generates a report.

lang/perl5.10 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
lang/perl5.8, that is:
Portupgrade users:
0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
pkgdb -Ff
1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*
2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
portupgrade -fr perl
Portmaster users:
portmaster -o lang/perl5.10 lang/perl5.8
portmaster -r perl\*

AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
AUTHOR: skv@FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.9. You should update everything
depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see
its manual page for details.
Failing to do this can result in a variety of strange and seemingly
unrelated problems. (I know from painful experience.)
