Thanks for that information.

The problem is that until upgrading Gnome I never cared about what
perl dists got installed.  I don't use perl myself, it's the ports
system that  is using it,  so I'm  warning about a  possible Gnome
upgrade problem for other users.

Apparently, the Gnome ports  and especially help2man are expecting
Perl 5.8 or at least only one perl port without enforcing it.
