It seems this is a very old installation, the perl package has been called
perl5 for quite a long time now.
Also, I'd say it wants to remove all that because you do have an old
installation where mod_php5 was included in php5, and apache22 needs perl
at runtime. And mod_php needs apache. So all of php needs perl.
It's all documented in UPDATING, but to sum up:

pkg set -n perl:perl5

should take care of at least not trying to remove everything.
