I don't think the problem has anything to do with how you upgrade
your system.
I installed 4.10 from minin.iso  and I have same problem about not
being able
to run perl -MCPAN -e shell command.

Something is wrong with the perl CPAN conf files that are part of
the FBSD system.
Problem may also be in the perl port as well.
Maybe time to send problem report and email the perl port
maintainer.

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.
