Of course. Sorry it was late and I'm afraid I glossed over
your experience to quickly.
But wouldn't have

$ cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.36
$ make deinstall

followed by

$ cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5.40
$ make clean
$ make install clean distclean

got it for you?
No. It's not a magic bullet. The transition
is indeed unpleasant. But it worked for me 5.38 => 5.40.
The only fiddly part I found was ensuring all the
associated modules I had previously installed also
got upgraded.
