This system was first created around 2009-08-14, so it always had
libtool22.

Yes, before I started this perl upgrade, I had just csup'd /usr/ports
and completed portmaster -a.

After doing portmaster --check-depends which did a few +REQUIRED_BY
updates:
% pkg_info | wc -l
845
% ls -d /var/db/pkg/* | wc -l
846
That is one more than portmaster -l:

Ah, I do remember seeing some warnings flying by saying that I should
try --check-depends. As I said above, I executed it. Didn't see any
errors about perl5.8.
I also ran portmaster --check-port-dbdir, deleted the directories that
did not seem to be installed, and noticed that x11/kde4 and kdeutils4
were not installed (even though the rest of kde4 seems to be installed).
So I'm doing portmaster -v -t -D -R x11/kde4 right now, which is
building several ports. I'll try resuming -r perl-threaded-5.10.1 after
this.
Thanks,
Kenyon Ralph
