1) You upgrade to 6.x
   The symlink stays
2) You upgrade the perl port:
2a) The port is deinstalled. The symlink will probably be removed since
    this is 6.x.
2b) The new version of the port is installed, without /usr/bin/perl.

I admit that 2a is not necessarily true, but I'm paranoid. It would mean
that the symlink is *outside* pkg-plist on 5.x, causing the "dangling
symlink problem".
