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

+ The default Perl version has been switched to Perl 5.20. If you are using
+ binary packages to upgrade your system, you do not have anything to do, pkg
+ upgrade will do the right thing. For the other people, assuming you are
+ migrating from 5.18 to 5.20, do:
+
+ Portupgrade users:
+ portupgrade -o lang/perl5.20 -f lang/perl5.18
+
+ portupgrade -f `pkg shlib -R libperl.so.5.18|tail +2`
+
+ Portmaster users:
+ portmaster -o lang/perl5.20 lang/perl5.18
+
+ portmaster -f `pkg shlib -R libperl.so.5.18|tail +2`
+
+ IMPORTANT:
+ In case you have not updated your system in a while, and specifically,
+ followed the 20141126 instructions regarding the new Perl layout, you
+ should follow those more extensive instructions rather than the
+ conservative presented here.
