You should update everything that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use "perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.10. Please see its manual page for details. If you want switch to lang/perl5.10 from lang/perl5.8 please follow instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file. Then you have misunderstood what it's saying. That only applies to folks already running 5.10 and if you have no need for that then do nothing further. If you really believe you need to run 5.10 then you should follow the complete instructions from the entry. -- Adam Vande More
