Yes - I forgot to mention it, but I did this too and perl-after-upgrade
reported 0 packages moved since I had 5.8.8 before upgrading
my OS from 5.4 to 6.1. None of the ports were upgraded since they were
already up to date - that is why I thought portupgrade -fa would just
cause them to use the new so files of 6.1 without causing any trouble.

Other than this one - all my other perl scripts/tools are working ok.
