pkg upgrade

So long as the repo(s) you're using are all consistent in being built
against the versions of perl or php or whatever that you want to use,
that should do what you want.  Generally it "just works"(tm).  If it
doesn't and it isn't obvious as to how to fix the problem (usually
something along the lines of 'delete pkg X, upgrade everything else,
reinstall pkg X') then ask again here.  pkg(8) will tell you what it is
going to do before it does anything, so you have plenty of chances to
stop before you trash anything important.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
