regarding Perl/UUCP, I have no idea but would be curious to know this as 
well.

regarding make installworld:
i have never bothered to drop to single-user mode to make installworld 
and have never had any problems with it.
on the other hand, i have never tried a major version update (ie: 4.x -> 
5.x), i have only done minor version updates (ie: 4.5 -> 4.6), so the 
above may not apply in this case.
