lang/perl5.8 has been updated to 5.8.5. you should update everything depending on perl, that is:
first, upgrade your perl5.8 installation.
run "use.perl port", so that the system knows you have 5.8.5.
now, run some magic incantations to upgrade all ports depending on perl, that is run something like :

portupgrade -f `(pkg_info -R perl-5.8.5 |tail +4; \
find /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.[124] -type f -print0 \
| xargs -0 pkg_which -fv | sed -e '/: ?/d' -e 's/.*: //')|sort -u`

This is likely to fail for a few ports, you'll have to upgrade them afterwards.
Please note, that this last step is, strictly speaking, not necessary, if you are upgrading from 5.8.4. But it is cleaner to do so anyway.
