Thanks for the reply. I have never used portmanager, but I did give it a
try like you said. Unfortunately it produced the same error when
building that portupgrade did. I should also point out that I did try
just a "make" from the port directory to see if it had something to do
with portupgrade, and that failed with the same message about
"perl_get_sv" as well.

Here is the output from portmanager. I have omitted other errors that
were about other Perl modules that were not installed via ports at all.

                bsdpan-XML-Parser-2.34 installation is corrupt!
                recomend running "pkg_delete -f bsdpan-XML-Parser-2.34"
then manually reinstalling this port

Thanks
