I tried a `make replace` in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/perl5. It thought about
it (spewing compile data to the screen) and eventually left me with
this:

=3D> Unwrapping files-to-be-installed.
=3D=3D=3D> Replacing perl-5.6.1nb11
*** WARNING - experimental target - data loss may be experienced ***
No /usr/pkg/bin/pkg_tarup binary - can't pkg_tarup perl

It seems as if I don't have pkg_tarup... not sure *how* I don't have
that, but I'll look into installing it. Maybe I'll have better luck.
