I've noticed that I had to reinstall all ports related to perl to fix this
problem. A "portupgrade -fr perl perl" should do, but it'll take a while.
Some safe and optimizing tips are:

1) portupgrade -Fr perl
2) Comment all perl related crontab entries and stop apache.
3) portupgrade -r perl
4) Uncomment all perl related crontab entries and start apache.

Best regards,
