So, apart from the problem with perl, everything else has managed to
update OK?  That's good.

You should run 'pkgdb -F' to make sure all of the dependency settings
are correct in your package database.  

perl is a particular problem when you update to a different base
version.  That's primarily because all of the modules get installed
into a directory labelled with the perl version number. The @PERLINC
array should be set automatically to account for that, but I find that
it's best to recompile all of the perl modules etc. so they get
installed by the updated version of perl.  Here's a slightly hackish
way to do that:

    # portupgrade -f \
        `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/{site_perl/,}5.6.1 -type f -print0 | \
         xargs -0 pkg_which | sort -u | grep -v '\?\|perl-5.6.1'`

	Cheers,

	Matthew
