You could do: portupgrade -rf perl p5-\*

I'd imagine -r would mean all p5-* packages are included (since they depend
on perl), but obviously that wasn't the case.  If the version of FreeBSD
is 4.x, then that means there is a perl in the base system, and thus all
the p5-* packages probably didn't have perl listed as one of their
dependencies.
