re: perl, did you perform the required perl-after-upgrade tasks (see 
/usr/ports/UPDATING)? Perl going funky after a major upgrade is 
often due to overlooking this.

I've no idea if that is related to your problem or how to address 
your problem if it's not, I just know of several folks who were 
bitten by not submitting themselves to UPDATING wisdom. Your mention 
of perl brought it to mind.
