Hi,

what is the easiest way to update perl version from 5.36 to 5.38?
# portupgrade perl5-5.36.3_1
[Reading data from pkg(8) ... - 277 packages found - done]
** Port deleted on 2025-05-29: lang/perl5.36
Has expired: Support end three years after .0 release, please upgrade to a more recent version of Perl
** Listing the failed packages (-:ignore

All packages compiled from ports, perl too.
 
As always in such cases, see /usr/ports/UPDATING, newer perl entries will point you to 20231017 one that has complete upgrade process description.
 
so I have to do the following options:
# cat /usr/ports/UPDATING | grep perl
AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
portmaster -a should handle all the upgrade properly. In case not please
run as an unprivileged user. You can also check if xrdp is properly
portmaster -a should handle all the upgrade properly. In case not please

DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl5=5.36
portupgrade -o lang/perl5.38 -f lang/perl5.36
Then you will need to rebuild everything that uses libperl.so, you
portupgrade -f `pkg shlib -qR libperl.so.5.34`
ports that have been rebuilt no longer depend on libperl.so.5.34 but
on libperl.so.5.36.

Do I need to add the entry DEFAULT_VERSIONS+= perl5=5.38 to /etc/make.conf

You need to read the entire entry (don't just grep perl) and use complete instructions adapting the versions for your case.

FYI, the default version of perl has been updated to 5.40: /usr/ports/UPDATING
Code:

  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5.*
  AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

  The default Perl version has been switched to 5.40.

  See entry 20231017 for updating instructions.
Edit "DEFAULT_VERSIONS" from entry 20231017 accordingly.
