I found that with the recent update of perl5, an awful lot of perl5's
little wizards are failing to portupgrade as the system tries to install
them as dependancies even though (or because) they are already installed.
I once wrote a shell script to combat this sort of behaviour, as it is
something I have run up against time and time again with the perl5 port.
It looks something like this (I fully expect my email to kill the
formatting of this, with like linewrap and everything, so beware):
~
#!/usr/local/bin/bash
# IMPORTANT!!!!1 - requires 'where' script ... see end of file.
# Also depends on portinstall.
PERLIST="/usr/home/spadge/perl.list" # file to hold the names of your
installed perl5 crap
PERLDEL=`where perl-5.8 | awk '{print $1}'`
PERLINST=`where perl-5.8 | awk '{print $4}'`
# If you use a different version of perl, you'll want to change the above
# PERLDEL and PERLINST lines to match it.
touch $PERLIST
pkgdb -Fu
pkgdb -Fu
# ok, this is the line that populates $PERLIST
for i in `(pkg_info -R perl-5\* |tail +4; find
/usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.[68].[1245] -type f -print0 | xargs -0
pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u`; do where $i >>
$PERLIST; done
# from here on the actual (un)installing is done
for i in `sort -u $PERLIST | awk '{print $1}'`; do pkg_delete -f $i; done
pkg_delete -f $PERLDEL
cd /usr/ports/$PERLINST; make install
for i in `sort -u $PERLIST | awk '{print $4}'`; do portinstall $i; done
#and that's it.
echo "perl (and all it's little wizards) has been updated."
echo "Before running this script again, either:"
echo "a) delete " $PERLIST ", or"
echo "b) comment out the line that populates it"

As to the bash3 upgrade problem, I found that getting the
bash-3.1.tar.gz source and bash31-010 patch from
http://ftp.wayne.edu/pub/gnu/bash/ and manually putting them in
/path/to/ports/distfiles/bash/ fixed it for me.
