Error when upgrading port: Errno architecture does not match executable architecture

[jsmorris]

I tried Ryan's suggestion, but it did not work.  I still got the same
error message.  The perl port seems to build just fine.  Is this a
problem with this version of Perl?  I even uninstalled my perl5.8 port
and re-installed it, but still the same error message.

Any other suggestions?
