If the portmaster user follows the entry 20231017, the updates will be
completed to a state where there are no issues with using perl.
However, since the environment remains dirty, I will note down some other
points of concern here, including that.

>  First, add to /etc/make.conf:
>  DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=  perl5=5.36

This should be done as instructed.
As a way to be lazy about that...
-m option of portmaster may be able to be used for that.
portmaster ... -m DEFAULT_VERSIONS=perl5=5.40 ... -o lang/perl5.40 perl5
However, this will disable other DEFAULT_VERSIONS due to the operation of make.
If all other DEFAULT_VERSIONS are written using the operator += like
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= python=3.9 ssl=openssl111, then env can be used.
env DEFAULT_VERSIONS=perl5=5.40 portmaster -o lang/perl5.40 perl5

>        portmaster -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.34`

-f option here causes a rebuild of unrelated ports.
It's just a waste of time.
Despite wasting time, not all ports listed by the following command are
included.
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.36/ -not -type d -exec pkg which -q
{} + | sort -u
These ports require reinstallation to move files located in directories named
with old version number.

Well, I feel like I've written something similar somewhere before :)
