I am the port maintainer for SA for Freebsd, and there is no such
requirement.
I have upgraded hundreds of systems, some with 5.8.8, some with 5.8.9,
some with 5.10.
I have upgraded with portupgrade. I have created packages with
portupgrade -p and upgraded with portupgrade -PP.
If you can reproduce the problem, go to www.freebsd.com/support and open
a PR.
Be specific, show EXACTLY how you reproduced the problem, what os, what
version, etc.
(or, if you used portupgrade -R, you told freebsd to upgrade perl since
it is a dependency. It just did what you told it to do)
