Was this a complete portupgrade?  That perl looks quite old.

Did you catch this in ports/UPDATING?

  20050624:
   AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8
   AUTHOR: tobez at FreeBSD.org

   lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.7.  You should update everything
   depending on perl.  The easiest way to do that is to use
   perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8.  Please see
   its manual page for details.


HTH,
