There are two, depending on whether you are running perl 5.10 or perl
5.8. If it's 5.8, you MUST read 'man perl-after-upgrade' or it likely
that you will do the wrong thing as, by default, it does not fix
anything, it just generates a report.

  lang/perl5.10 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
  lang/perl5.8, that is:

  Portupgrade users:
    0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
        pkgdb -Ff

    1) Reinstall perl with new 5.10:
        portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*

    2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
        portupgrade -fr perl

  Portmaster users:
        portmaster -o lang/perl5.10 lang/perl5.8
        portmaster -r perl\*

  lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.9. 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.

Failing to do this can result in a variety of strange and seemingly
unrelated problems. (I know from painful experience.)
