Ports aren't branched, so I'll assume you used tag=. for the ports.

Perl is a special case, because the scripts embed the full path to the
executable.  In this case, you will probably be fine.  To be sure,
update everything that is outdated and dependent on glib.  portupgrade
and portmanager are both nice utilities to help you with this.
