if you're referring to this:
20090911:
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.10
AUTHOR: skv at FreeBSD.org
lang/perl5.10 has been updated to 5.10.1. You should update everything
that depends on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
"perl-after-upgrade" script supplied with lang/perl5.10. Please see its
manual page for details.
If you want switch to lang/perl5.10 from lang/perl5.8 please follow
instructions in the entry 20090328 in this file.
Then you have misunderstood what it's saying. That only applies to folks
already running 5.10 and if you have no need for that then do nothing
further. If you really believe you need to run 5.10 then you should follow
the complete instructions from the entry.
