Upgrading Perl

If you are going to upgrade perl (currently, if you go to 5.8.7), be sure to read the /usr/ports/UPDATING note:
20050624:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
  AUTHOR: tobez@FreeBSD.org

  lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7.  You should update
  everything depending on perl.  The easiest way to do that is
  to use perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8.
  Please see its manual page for details.
In other words:

run "perl-after-upgrade" (note the remarks)
run "perl-after-upgrade -f" (to make the changes)
