If you don't want to rebuild *really* everything depending on perl, you
can first give a shot en perl modules:

pkg info | sed -rn 's/^(p5.*)-[0-9]+.*/\1/p' | xargs portmaster

Maybe this can be done using only pkg query but I'm too lazy for the
moment 8-}

But you should know that it can make other perl dependent ports not
working anymore.
