Perl help needed

That sound like "too much". I've 1408 ports installed, of which 90
are named p5-*, and "pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.26" shows only 32 ports.

Did you rebuild everything along the build-dependencies, or does your
build tool use the run-depdendencies?
There had been a time when ports had way too many dependencies registered,
if my memory serves right that was because many build-dependencies were
recorded as run-dependencies (or there was no distinction at all). Is
that a leftover effect from those times?

Regards,
Christoph
