You can use -a to update all ports that need to be updated. To update a subset of those, you could (1) use -i with -a or a glob (by the way, the * isn't needed with portmaster -- see the portmaster(1) manpage), and respond in the negative to prompts to update or re-install those you wish to exclude; (2) use -x with -a or a glob, to exclude certain ports; or (3) feed portmaster a list of globs that match only those ports that you want to be updated. In your case, for (3), if you only wanted to update those p5-* ports that need to be updated, but not other ports that need to be updated, you could use something like: pkg_version -qos p5- -l '<' | xargs portmaster Of course, since some new versions of p5-* ports may depend upon new versions of other, non p5-* ports, updating only the p5-* ports isn't guaranteed to work. b.
