You may be running into the situation where something Perl needs can't
run because of mixed libraries.
For the 7-8 major version upgrade, it's usually easier and faster to
save your pkg_info output, backup /usr/local/etc, and pkg_delete
everything. Then update the ports tree and start installing ports from
scratch.
There may be a way to automate that, like feeding the saved pkg_info
output to portupgrade. I haven't done it often enough to investigate.
pkg_sort, which is part of portupgrade, is a useful tool.
That's pretty cool:
pkg_info | cut -f 1 -d' ' | pkg_sort
You could just start installing ports at the bottom and work upwards.
The only thing that makes me wonder is that list shows wine above
xorg-server on my system.
