Thanks to all for pointing to this.

However, when I run:

  portupgrade -o lang/perl5.10 -f perl-5.8\.*

I get this problem:

--->  Upgrading 'perl-5.8.9_3' to 'perl-5.10.1' (lang/perl5.10)
--->  Building '/usr/ports/lang/perl5.10'
===>  Cleaning for perl-5.10.1

===>  perl-5.10.1 conflicts with installed package(s): 
      perl-5.8.9_3

      They install files into the same place.
      Please remove them first with pkg_delete(1).
*** Error code 1


I supposed I could do a forced manual removal of perl, but isn't that what the '-f'
arg in the portupgrade is supposed to do?
