pkg/ports mixup

[Per Gunnarsson]

Hello!

This was originally intended as a problem report.

textproc/p5-XML-Parser configure error (could be pkg/ports mixup of
lang/perl5.32)

When trying to compile pulseaudio, configure complained about not finding
the perl version in the hashbang.

This happened after first doing a package upgrade, updating the ports
tree and trying to build the port.

I worked around it bu adding a link:

usr/local/bin/perl5.32.0@ -> /usr/local/bin/perl5.32.1

Now I wonder if pkg installs another version of perl than ports.

I have read somewhere that it's either ports or packages, but in case
one is running a FreeBSD desktop
there is a lot less to compile if one first do a pkg upgrade, then
update the ports tree and build ports with changed configurations.

This happened on:
