Hmmm --- try it like this.  I've no idea why trying to downgrade the port
using the name lang/perl5.8 or even lang/perl5 doesn't work.  Seems fine
if you say lang/perl though.

# portdowngrade -s anoncvs at anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs lang/perl

portdowngrade 0.6 by Heiner Eichmann
Please note, that nothing is changed in the ports tree
unless it is explicitly permitted in step 6!

Seeking port lang/perl ... 

Found several matches:
1: lang/perl5.10
2: lang/perl5.8

Please choose one: 2

Downgrading port: lang/perl5.8

Step 1: Checking out port from CVS repository
CVS root directory: anoncvs at anoncvs1.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
The authenticity of host 'anoncvs1.freebsd.org (216.87.78.137)' can't be established.
DSA key fingerprint is 53:1f:15:a3:72:5c:43:f6:44:0e:6a:e9:bb:f8:01:62.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes
Warning: Permanently added 'anoncvs1.freebsd.org' (DSA) to the list of known hosts.

Step 2: Reading the port history from the CVS repository

Step 3: Analyzing the port history from the CVS repository

Step 4: Load port version numbers and present results
Keys: <space> : next page                      d : details
            p : previous page
      <enter> : leave presentation and downdgrade if wanted
