Your obvious Perl problems notwithstanding, why would a Perl program crash
your Apache? (you would expect a child to die, not the parent).  See, this
is why I hate fully automated portupgrades.

First order of business, methinks, is to go to:

/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8

And reinstall it. Then I would go to:

/usr/ports/www/mod_perl

And reinstall that too (provided, of course, you use mod_perl; but it seems
like you do).
