 you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+
+  Perl 5.12 has been removed.  The default Perl is lang/perl5.16.
+
+  Portupgrade users:
+    0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
+	pkgdb -Ff
+
+    1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.16):
+	portupgrade -o lang/perl5.16 -f lang/perl5.12
+
+    2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
+	portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.16
+
+  Portmaster users:
+	portmaster -o lang/perl5.16 lang/perl5.12
+
+	Conservative:
+	portmaster p5-
+
+	Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
+	portmaster -r perl-
+
+  Note: If the "perl-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify
+	the name of the Perl directory in /var/db/pkg explicitly.  Also,
+	depending on when you've upgraded perl 5.12 last, the prefix may be
+	perl5- or perl5.12-.
