I've seen the same type of messages either when updating a Perl module using
CPAN, or now when using perl-5.8.4 (via local modification to the port).

The messages are annoying but mostly harmless. I suspect that the package
dependency information is no longer reliable, however, but if you are already
updating Perl software past the versions currently in the ports repository,
hopefully you know what you are doing. :-)
I would be interested in a fix for this as well, however.
