I installed perl in /usr/local to have a later version of perl.
Certain ports require the new version. How can I set the default
version of perl that make uses in /usr/ports? I tried make.conf, that

change goes away when I update ports. What's the right answer?

Described in /usr/ports/UPDATING along with the upgrade procedure.
