While the actual change to the Perl version works fine for me, I
find that invoking "pkg updating" fails to display the 20180330
ports/UPDATING entry.  I got lucky, because I found out about the
change a different way.

I maintain /usr/ports as an SVN working copy, using a local private
mirror (updated nightly):

g1-215(11.1-S)[1] svn info /usr/ports/
Path: /usr/ports
Working Copy Root Path: /usr/ports

g1-215(11.1-S)[2]=20


The 20180330 entry does exist in /usr/ports/UPDATIMG:

g1-215(11.1-S)[2] grep -i -B 2 -A 2 perl /usr/ports/UPDATING | head

20180330:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
  AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

  The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.26.  If you are using
  binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, p=
kg
  upgrade will do the right thing.  For the other people, follow the
--

g1-215(11.1-S)[3]=20


I have Perl installed:

g1-215(11.1-S)[3] pkg info -o perl5\*
perl5-5.26.1                   lang/perl5.26
g1-215(11.1-S)[4]=20


But "pkg updating -i" fails to display the 20180330 entry for me;
it does show entries for some(?) other ports I have installed:

g1-215(11.1-S)[4] pkg updating -i | head
20180319:
  AFFECTS: users of dns/dnsmasq
  AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org

  Note that with dnsmasq 2.79, some parts of the interface have changed in =
an
  incompatible way versus previous versions. This comprises changed recursi=
on
  behaviour, signature support, a change for SIGINT (vs. SIGHUP) behaviour.

  Note especially that dnsmasq will no longer answer non-recursive queries
  unless it is marked authoritative!  Be sure to see the manual page for the
g1-215(11.1-S)[5]=20


Is the above a demostration of a problem with "pkg updating"?
Something else?

Thanks!

Peace,
david
