Actually only a fraction of perl ports requires libperl.so. For example
one of my machines:
# pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.36 | wc -l
35
# pkg files | fgrep mach/5.36 | sed s/\ .*// | uniq | wc -l
128

Indeed, but that's not covered by the 20181213 procedure at all. Which
is why this thread rightfully started.

Yes - but it's rather cheap to reinstall such ports, as in many cases
"installing" is just mungling text and moving files around.
The point I was trying to make is that p5-* is not even comprehensive,
as some ports don't have a name starting with p5-. The thing is that
such ports' files may need to be moved from site_perl/mach/5.34
to site_perl/mach/5.36 still. Likewise to clean up the legacy left in
site_perl/mach/5.34.
Kind regards
