Wouldn't it make more sense to fix mod_perl?  (Or portupgrade - whichever 
one is the culprit?)  All the ports that depended upon perl appear to have 
had their dependencies updated properly except for libwww and mod_perl. 
ISTM, fixing those two ports makes more sense.

If you don't use portupgrade, then what *do* you do?  Wouldn't you have to 
deinstall and reinstall every port that depended upon perl?  Or will 
pkgdb -F do the trick?
