Comment (by michaelld):

 So at least for me, this commit fails in an epic way: any module that
 already exists in perl 5.26 errors out on update (but the update is
 successful). For example the following:
 {{{
 --->  p5.24-xml-parser is replaced by p5.26-xml-parser
 --->  Deactivating p5.24-xml-parser @2.440.0_0
 --->  Cleaning p5.24-xml-parser
 --->  Computing dependencies for p5.26-xml-parser
 --->  Cleaning p5.26-xml-parser
 Error: process_cmd failed: can't read "load_startupitem": no such variable
 }}}

 So I had to repeat "sudo port update outdated" until all of these were
 dealt with. All is good afterwards, but doing this was a real PITA ...
 there has -got- to be a better way!
