all dependencies that include perl modules. I can't swear that it is not
the case, but I'm pretty sure that I have had this pop up when I have not
updated perl. In any case, now when updating perl I always check
/usr/local/lib/perl5/old_ver and /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/old_ver to
make sure nothing has been left behind.

Of course, you can rebuild everything that depends on perl, but that will
resul tn re-building a lot of ports that don't need it. So I do:
portmaster p5-
which gets almost everything along with net-snmp and libwww (which I know
build perl modules) and then check for anything left behind.
