Sorry for not posting the log file; I meant to do this and forgot:

Done.

Tried this.

Will try this, though I am a bit reluctant to do an all-out update of
everything! For what it's worth, I had a perl module installed via CPAN (instead of the ports tree, because the port does not exist), about which portmanager seems to complain. The port was for Net-DNS-Async. portmanager asks me to pkg_delete and re-install. I will try that and perhaps perl will then build/update properly.
