I tried this (adding the 'n') to see what portupgrade would find.  All 
it found was 'perl5.8', yet I have webmin, spamassassin, and various 
other things that use perl (AFAIK).  I changed the line to:

portupgrade -rRf 'p5*'

and if found lots of things.  It might be overkill but it should get 
everything that needs rebuilding, correct?

Thanks for your help.
