I'd imagine that reading this part of /usr/ports/UPDATING:

20090113:
   AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
   AUTHOR: skv at FreeBSD.org

   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.

...would have been helpful.
