I did not do a portupgrade of any kind, simply "make deinstall; make
clean; make build; make install". I also did a "make deinstall" of
ports/lang/perl5.10.1 before this, but the SA port kept trying to install
5.10.1 as a dependency, even though 5.8.9 was already installed.
In any case, building and installing from tarball solved the problem.
