You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+ AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org
+
+ The directories where Perl modules are installed has changed. All
+ affected ports' PORTREVISION have been bumped, so upgrading should
+ be as painless as possible. The old directories have been kept in
+ the default Perl @INC to make it even more painless.
+
+ The default Perl has been switched to lang/perl5.18. These examples
+ are for switching from lang/perl5.16, if you are running a different
+ version, replace lang/perl5.16 with the origin of the Perl you have
+ installed.
+
+ Binary package users:
+
+ # pkg upgrade -f
+
+ Portupgrade users:
+ 0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
+ pkgdb -Ff
+
+ 1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.18):
+ portupgrade -o lang/perl5.18 -f lang/perl5.16
+
+ 2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
+ portupgrade -fr lang/perl5.18
+
+ Portmaster users:
+ portmaster -o lang/perl5.18 lang/perl5.16
+
+ Conservative:
+ portmaster p5-
+
+ Comprehensive (but perhaps overkill):
+ portmaster -r perl5-
+
+ Note: If the "perl5-" glob matches more than one port you will need to specify
+ the name of the installed Perl package explicitly. You can get its name
+ by running: pkg info perl5
