you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+ AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
+
+ Perl 5.12 has been removed. The default Perl is lang/perl5.16.
+
+ Portupgrade users:
+ 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
+ pkgdb -Ff
+
+ 1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):
+ portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f lang/perl5.12
+
+ 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
+ portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16
+
+ Portmaster users:
+ portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12
+
+ Conservative:
+ portmaster p5-
+
+ Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
+ portmaster -r perl-
+
+ Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify
+ the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly. Also,
+ depending on when you've upgraded perl 5.12 last, the prefix may be
+ perl5- or perl5.12-.
