UPDATING: Fix old portmaster example
The entry dated 20181213 suggests portmaster -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.26` to force an update or re-installation of all ports that directly depend on the given library.

Then you will need to rebuild everything that uses libperl.so, you

run it again, it will not rebuild what it already rebuilt, as the
