Thanks. Tried that. Unfortunately there were hundreds of checksum failures
like:
original MD5 checksum failed, not deleting:
/usr/pkg/lib/perl5/man/man3/warnings::register.3

And then it finally stopped with:
pkg_delete: couldn't entirely delete package `perl-5.26.2'
===> Cleaning for perl-5.26.2

It neither created a new perl-package nor did it compile any of the
depending packages.
