Problems with perl upgrade

I'm preparing to upgrade two servers.  I decided to upgrade perl to 5.10.0 
before doing anything else (I've done this before on other systems), but I 
ran into a problem.

Per /usr/ports/UPDATING
# portupgrade -o lang /perl5.10 -f perl-5.8.\*** There are errors in a 
meta info for perl-5.8.9
** Run 'pkgdb -F' to interactively fix them.

But when I run pkgdb:
# pkgdb -F--->  Checking the package registry database

Checking /usr/local/lib/perl5, I have two directories; 5.8.8 and 5.8.9.

How do I solve this problem?

obvious, my opinions are my own
and not those of my employer.
