I have a questions about the use of portmaster when upgrading multiple ports and how to correctly use wildcards.For example, I have this from pkg_version: p5-Digest-SHA-5.50< needs updating (port has 5.61) p5-IO-Socket-SSL-1.38< needs updating (port has 1.39) p5-IPC-Cmd-0.68< needs updating (port has 0.70) p5-Math-BigInt-1.99< needs updating (port has 1.993) p5-Module-Build-0.3607_1< needs updating (port has 0.3624) p5-Module-CoreList-2.42< needs updating (port has 2.45) p5-Module-Load-Conditional-0.38< needs updating (port has 0.44) p5-Params-Check-0.26_1< needs updating (port has 0.28) p5-Test-Harness-3.22< needs updating (port has 3.23) p5-URI-1.56< needs updating (port has 1.58) When I was using portupgrade, I could type... portupgrade p5-* ...and it would upgrade only the ports that needed upgrading and dependancies.

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.
portmaster takes care of that, except if there are downstream dependencies that stop working with updated ports on your list -- but that's rather rarely observed and usually documented in /usr/ports/UPDATING -- but even then, portmaster -a -i would likely help.
