Now tons of things are broken (looking for stuff in */site_perl/5.8.8/* but that's now */site_perl/5.8.9/*) and I have to recompile those that failed earlier:

cd /var/db/pkg ; grep -r 'site_perl/5\.8\.8' * | awk -F\/ '{print $1}' | sort | grep -v pkgdb | xargs portupgrade -fbp

And after a couple of these cycles everything is OK again..

Am I doing something wrong or .. what?

Did you read /usr/ports/UPDATING?

    lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.9. You should update everything
    depending on perl. The easiest way to do that is to use
    perl-after-upgrade script supplied with lang/perl5.8. Please see
    its manual page for details.


So the recommended way to upgrade perl (that worked for me) was:

- upgrade perl
- run "perl-after-upgrade" and see if any problems show up
- run "perl-after-upgrade -f" to move all site-packages to the new perl

bye,
Uwe
