Actually, I _have_ upgraded Perl properly. That wasn't the problem at all.

I eventually managed to work around the problems I was having, but only
by manually building and reinstalling various ports.  (Using ordinary
"portinstall -a" was most definitely failing all over the place.)

The _actual_ problem seemed to me to be that there are a whole bunch of
things that depend, directly or indirectly, on icu-x.y.z but that
currently don't know that they are dependent on that.  (Actually,
and more specifically, there appear to be a quite a lot of dynamic
libraries in /usr/local/lib that are dependent upon libicui18n.so.NN.)

In particular, one of the things that seemed to be causing a lot of
problems (after the upgrade to icu-4.6) was gobject-introspection.
I gather that this is dependent on at least a couple of libraries
in /usr/local/lib, and it appears that those in turn had not been
properly/automatically upgraded after my initial attempts to do
"portupgrade -a" had already upgraded icu to version 4.6 (from 3.8).

And apparently, there are great gobs of things that depend on
gobject-introspection.  (See list below.)  So the problem of the
lack of proper dependencies can and does ripple through a whole lot
of ports.

Hummm... I have just been checking now to try to provide you with a
list of all of the libraries in /usr/local/lib that depend upon
ibicui18n.so.NN and then also a list of all of the ports associated
with these... so that you could check for yourself and make sure that
all of those ports properly declare a dependency upon the icu port...
but having started this process, I see that EVEN AFTER all my fiddling
(i.e. manual rebuilds & reinstalls) needed to get "portupgrade -a"
to finally complete successfully, I *still* have a lot of libraries
installed in /usr/local/lib that are _still_ dependent upon the old
(and now replaced/absent) version of libicui18n.so.NN, specifically,
all of these:

libbonobo-2.so: libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libbonobo-activation.so:        libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libbonoboui-2.so:       libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgee.so:      libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgnome-2.so:  libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgnomecanvas-2.so:    libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgnomecups-1.0.so:    libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgnomeprint-2-2.so:   libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgnomeprintui-2-2.so: libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgnomeui-2.so:        libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libgnomevfs-2.so:       libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libnotify.so:   libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)
libopenrawgnome.so:     libicui18n.so.38 => not found (0x0)

I guess that now that I know about all of these additional problems,
I have no real choice but to manually rebuild and reinstall all of the
ports associated with these libraries also, i.e. in order to avoid lots
of random and spurious run-time failures due to the missing libicui18n.so.38
library file, upon which all of these other libraries apparently depend.

So anyway, here is a complete list of all of the libraries I currently
have in /usr/local/lib that are dependent upon the continuing presence of
the exact same version of libicui18n.so.NN as was in place at the time
they were built.  If something comes along later and "upgrades"
libicui18n.so.NN so that the "NN" part changes, then ALL of these
libraries (and all of their associated ports) effectively become
broken.  (And I really DO believe that at least a few of the ports
associated with these libraries are NOT properly declaring a dependency
upon the icu port, such that when the installed version of icu changes,
these other ports will be subjected to a fiorced rebuild/reinstall.)

Because of this seemingly pervasive problem, I think that you should
give some consideration to re-opening this PR.

On the other hand, if I am wrong about any part of my analysis, then by
all means, please do enlighten me as to where I have gone wrong.
