Hi everyone. I finally did a big portupgrade on a 4.9-RELEASE system
today and I'm having some problems with Perl.

I got it updated to 5.8.7 (was 5.6.x before), ran "use.perl port", and
ran the perl-after-upgrade script which were all said in UPDATING. Now
it's time to force upgrade/recompile the Perl modules for the new version.

Unfortunately this is where I get stuck:

xeon1# portupgrade -f p5-\*

[snip]

===>   p5-HTML-Tagset-3.10 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 - found
===>   p5-HTML-Tagset-3.10 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.8.7 - found
===>  Configuring for p5-HTML-Tagset-3.10
/usr/libexec/ld-elf.so.1:
/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.7/mach/auto/Cwd/Cwd.so: Undefined symbol
"perl_get_sv"
*** Error code 1
------------------------------------

The remaining Perl modules that are supposed to be upgraded/recompiled
either error out with the same message or are skipped because one that
it requires errored out.

I tried Googling for that error, but nothing came up. Other info that
might be useful:

Thanks very much in advance as this is a production server which uses
Perl all the time.
