+ lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. you should update everything
+ depending on perl, that is:
+ * first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation.
+ * run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5.
+ * now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl,
+ that is run something like :
+ portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 |tail +4; \
+ find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \
+ | xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u`
+ This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them
+ afterwards.
+ Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary,
+ if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway.
