You can tell the portupgrade tools the path relative to /usr/ports --
so to upgrade from perl-5.6.1 to perl-5.8.2 you would do:
# pkg_deinstall -f lang/perl5
# portinstall lang/perl5.8
and then all the 'use.perl port' stuff, as well as re-installing any
perl modules (ie. anything that installed files under
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 or /usr/local/lib/perl5/site-perl/5.6.1)
Cheers,
Matthew
