Hmmm... So your repo has perl5-5.20.x but your machine is still on 5.18.x?

On my own machine:

% pkg info -dr mysql56-server
mysql56-server-5.6.27
Depends on     :
	mysql56-client-5.6.27
	perl5-5.22.0_4

mysql server has a dependency on perl5, so pkg(8) should be proposing to
upgrade perl5 as part of the update of mysql56-server.

Is there any reason you can't upgrade perl5 on this machine?  I've a
feeling doing that will help.  Or if you can't upgrade perl5, how about
changing the default version back to 5.18 in your repo?  Perl is one of
those packages that (almost) everything depends on, and pkg(8) will find
it difficult to handle updates if it can't bring perl up to the version
all the other packages in the repo are expecting.

	Cheers,
