Umm.... there isn't perl bundled with the system now. That was removed many years ago. You're expected to install perl from ports if you want it on your system. The default version that the ports would install as a dependency (assuming you had done nothing to select a different one) or that you would get by installing from packages is perl-5.12.4 at the moment. To upgrade to a different version, you need to do something like this: # portmaster -o lang/perl5.12 perl-5.8.9_7 # portmaster -R -r perl-5.14.2_1 You have to rebuild / reinstall all perl modules and everything that embeds perl or that uses perl at run-time when going up such a jump in versions -- the simple moving things around trick using perl-after-upgrade is not sufficient here.
