I'd imagine that reading this part of /usr/ports/UPDATING:
20090113:
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.
...would have been helpful.
