Bug 248639

After updating /usr/ports/UPDATING and according to entry 20200803:
  AFFECTS: users of lang/perl5*
  AUTHOR: mat@FreeBSD.org

replacing lang/perl5.30 with lang/perl5.32 fails due to the error shown below. The box in question is running recent CURRENT (FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT #12 r364186: Thu Aug 13 12:05:05 CEST 2020 amd64) and amongst other CURRENT systems it seems it is one of the rare occassions where this problem occurs. On CURRENT switching from perl5.28 to perl5.32 everything ran smooth, also CURRENT with perl5.30 had no problems.
The box in question is a server with a minimalistic installation.
