Perl in base has been updated to 5.28.1. When new snapshots are available, beware: as is usual for perl major version updates, any perl programs using XS modules will need to be updated - you might want to hold off updating until new packages are available.
Easy way to see if you have any: cd /var/db/pkg; grep -l 'libdata/perl5/site_perl/.*\.so$' */+CONTENTS And to check packages on a mirror (assuming installurl or PKG_PATH are set): $ PKG_DBDIR=/var/empty pkg_info -S p5-DBI Information for http://ftp.hostserver.de/pub/OpenBSD/snapshots/packages/amd64/p5-DBI-1.641.tgz Signature: p5-DBI-1.641,0,@p5-MLDBM-2.05,@p5-PlRPC-0.2020,@p5-SQL-Statement-1.407,c.95.0,perl.18.1 Check the signature line - "perl.18.1" is for perl 5.24.3 - new ones will have "perl.19.0".
