Jeff,

how exactly did you upgrade to Perl 5.12?

Please check /etc/make.conf if there is a PERL_VERSION= line pointing to
the old version somehow.

Else, please try to follow the instructions from /usr/ports/UPDATING
(which you should check regularly):

  lang/perl5.12 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
  lang/perl5.10, that is:

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

    1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.12):
        env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.12 -f perl-5.10.\*

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

  Portmaster users:
        portmaster -o lang/perl5.12 lang/perl5.10

        Conservative:
        portmaster p5-

        Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
        portmaster -r perl-

  Note: If the "perl-" glob matches  more than one port you will need to
        specify the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.

-----------------------------------------------------

Hope that helps.

Best regards,
