On FreeBSD (and - I think - also other *BSD's) you can upgrade packages from source. I mean - Not Linux source, aand not ActivePerl source, but from real source. For this - you really should check the /usr/ports/UPDATING.
You can also consult the freebsd-perl mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-perl If you get an answer there - you can post it back here for our knowledge. Maybe this could help: I have consulted that list myself years ago, regarding FreeBSD 7.2 and How to move to perl 5.10.
