I see in the $PORTSDIR/UPDATING file that perl has been updated.

perl5.16 has been updated from 5.16.2 to 5.16.3 .

Since this is only (?) a minor-version update, why should it be necessary to 
upgrade all ports that depend on perl?

portmaster -r perl

In that case, why didn't they go to perl 5.18?

Since so many ports depend on perl, and png too, maybe they should have updated 
perl and png (to 1.6.x) at the same time, then two massive portmaster or 
portupgrade runs could have been done together, as one even bigger portmaster 
or portupgrade run?
