FYI, the \* at the end is not needed, 'portmaster perl-' will work
just fine.

It's generally a good idea to check your facts before posting to the
list. Since the glob code goes by the directory names in /var/db/pkg,
and since the prefix will be there in the directory name, this won't
be an issue.
In any case, I updated the instructions for this, and the other
portmaster examples in /usr/ports/UPDATING a couple days ago so
hopefully no one else will stumble over this.
