Isn't the recommended practice to reinstall all perl related ports after 
upgrading perl to a new minor version?

Taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING :

20110517:
   AFFECTS: users of lang/perl*
   AUTHOR: skv at FreeBSD.org

   lang/perl5.14 is out. If you want to switch to it from, for example
   lang/perl5.12, that is:

   Portupgrade users:
     0) Fix pkgdb.db (for safety):
         pkgdb -Ff

     1) Reinstall new version of Perl (5.14):
         env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.14 -f 
perl-5.12.\*

     2) Reinstall everything that depends on Perl:
         portupgrade -fr perl

   Portmaster users:
         portmaster -o lang/perl5.14 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.

Regards,

Jase.
