Actually, I was having that trouble, too. But for me the solution was
to deinstall perl-threaded, pkg_delete -f the non-deinstalled perl
5.8.9, rmconfig && make config-recursive in /usr/ports/lang/perl5.8,
make sure the "build threaded perl" was unchecked and make install clean
from there. Before doing all that, I had run perl-after-upgrade
(several times) to no avail.
I'm not sure how I ended up with 2 perls installed, or why deinstalling
perl-threaded left one remaining, but all was (is) well after I reverted
perl as above.
