For me it required this –

env DISABLE_CONFLICTS=1 portupgrade -o lang/perl5.14 -f perl-5.8.\*

Hmm, I know this is an old thread, but you can also just alter the “conflicts with” line in the Makefile of the perl-5.10 port and life will be good, as the -o tells portupgrade to use 5.10 to upgrade 5.8 (assuming you are using portupgrade)

I wish it worked for me as easily as that (FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE i386): portupgrade, portmaster, and everything else I’ve tried insist that I must pkg_delete perl-5.8 first, which has way too many dependents…
