Did you read /usr/ports/UPDATING?

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.
So the recommended way to upgrade perl (that worked for me) was:
- upgrade perl
- run "perl-after-upgrade" and see if any problems show up
- run "perl-after-upgrade -f" to move all site-packages to the new perl
bye,
Uwe
