I take it for "it's not clear to me why I need" ...
Well, the ports get updated just like the base system,
and perl5 apparently left the "PROHIBITED" state after the 4.4
release. If you want perl-5.6 you need to update the port.

That should've been "frob a knob". Sorry, I'm tired. And it means:
isntall cvsup ), tweak the
default ports-supfile, tweak /etc/make.conf to use cvsup for
source/ports updates, and your done.
