Ah yes. So I DO run the script for the update to 5.8.6 ?
OK, nice to know I didn't do that in veign ;-)

The /usr/ports/UPDATE script for perl contains a little typo imho. It's
referring to perl/5.[68].[1245] ! I think this should be changed to
perl/5.[68].[12456] if updating to 5.8.6 (six)! Or not?
