yes, updating perl never works for me. never did. not since my FreeBSD

I always have to do something manually. it might have been missed with
the perl5.8.9 ->5.12 upgrade, who knows.
You might want to open a pr [PATCH] devel/p5-Module-Build - conditional
add BUILD_DEPENDS perl < 5.14.
in the makefile, check for perl_ver and conditionally add that depends.
(however, last time I build SA in a tinderbox with perl 5.12+, it worked
just fine, )

besides what it says in UPDATING, and I have said this a couple of times
in the past:
once you are done, and do the perl-after-upgrade -f, do this and
examiine the output:
rsync -avun ../(oldperllib)/ .../(newperllibs)
as in cd /usr/local/lib/perl5
rsync -avun 5.8.9/ 5.12/
cd site_perl
rsync -avun 5.8.9/ 5.12/
check the files you see listed (-un does a dry run, checks times for
newer files)
some of these files that are left over are because they are not needed,
ie: in the newer perl version.
delete them.
then run rsync without -n.
then delete the old crap
rm-rf /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.9 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.9
the above is NOT sanctioned by FreeBSD, perl@, The White House, #10
Downing street, UNISCO or SECNAP.
I find you WILL always have problems with perl upgrades.
I usually just get a listing of depends, pkg_delete the whole lot (and
rm leftovers) and reinstall from scratch when I have to.
