You should get into the habit of checking this file for changes each time
you update your ports collection, before attempting any port upgrades.

+ Perl now links all .so it builds with libperl.so, it makes upgrading from one
+ Perl major version to another way easier. For binary package users, it means
+ pkg upgrade will detect the libperl.so.x.yy change, and reinstall the
+ affected packages. For users using ports, it will save rebuild time as it's
+ easier to detect what ports really need to be rebuilt.
+
+ Ports users are encouraged to rebuild ports that install files in SITE_ARCH.
+ If using Perl 5.18, run:
+
+ With portupgrade:
+
+ portupgrade `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u`
+
+ With portmaster:
+
+ portupgrade `find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18 -name '*.so'|xargs pkg which -qo|sort -u`
