Switching Perl Versions

Hi,

All my machines have:

perl 5, version 12, subversion 3 (v5.12.3) built for
darwin-thread-multi-2level

as the 'active' perl version

I would like to switch it to:

perl 5, version 14, subversion 1 (v5.14.1) built for
darwin-thread-multi-2level

What is the best correct way to do this?

Can I just issue the command:

sudo port install perl5 +perl5_14

or
sudo port -R upgrade perl5 +perl5_14

and be done with it? And what happens to all the ports that were compiled
by perl5.12?

Do I have to uninstall all these p5.12-* ports, following-dependents and
the re-install the same p5.14-* ports?

Or is there any other way to do this?

Suggestions would be welcomed
