I don't think you can upgrade perl to a new level with portupgrade. You 
have to run "use.perl port" after you update perl to a new level. You 
will find all of the p5-* in the old perl links. In addition, some of 
the older automake[s] have the perl version you were running at the 
time you installed them as the first line of the script. One these has 
been set, you can run your portupgrade.
