I did exactly this a week or so ago.  Given you've got your own
poudriere setup, then:

  1) Edit /usr/local/etc/poudriere.d/make.conf (or an build
     specific variant) and set:

     DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=     perl5=5.22

  2) Run a poudriere bulk to rebuild all the packages that depend on
     perl.  That's going to be most of them because GNU autotools
     introduces a build-depends on perl through automake...

  3) Upgrade packages as normal:

     pkg upgrade

You should see pkg wanting to remove perl5.20, install perl5.22 and
reinstall all perl modules or other ports with a run-time dependency on
perl.

Note that the default version of perl in your repo will get the pkgname
'perl5', and all others will get a pkgname of the form 'perl5.XY' -- so
in my repo, I have:

% pkg search -x perl5
perl5-5.22.0_2
perl5.20-5.20.2_6

ie 5.22 is the default version but I also have a (basically useless)
perl5.20 package.

	Cheers,
