Take a look at /usr/ports/UPDATING .  In particular, the entry:

	20040531:
  	  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.8

It may be of some help.  Its a good idea to get into the habit
of reading and following the instructions in UPDATING.  I do
the things in UPDATING before updating any other ports since it
may affect the upgrading of other ports.

If you have followed those instructions, then pardon my noise.

Best regards,

Randy
