  Log Message:
  -----------
  lang/perl5.38: remove EOL Perl 5.38 port (#632)

Removes `lang/perl5.38`, which has reached end of life upstream (5.38.5
was the final maintenance release).

## Rationale
- **Not the default** Perl for any supported MidnightBSD release: 4.x
uses 5.40, 3.x uses 5.36.
- **No dependents**: a tree-wide grep found no port depending on
`lang/perl5.38`.
- FreeBSD has already removed its `lang/perl5.38` port.

## Changes
- Remove the `lang/perl5.38/` directory.
- Drop the `SUBDIR += perl5.38` entry from `lang/Makefile`.
- Add a `MOVED` record pointing users to `lang/perl5.40` (or
`lang/perl5.42`).

## Notes
- The reverse name-map in `Mk/extensions/perl5.mk` (PERL_LEVEL →
PERL_PORT) already tolerates removed version ports (e.g. `perl5.36` is
mapped there but its port is already gone), so it is left unchanged.
- Verified the framework still resolves the default Perl after removal.

## Summary by Sourcery

Remove the deprecated lang/perl5.38 port and update the ports tree to
reflect its removal.

Enhancements:
- Clean up the ports collection by deleting the lang/perl5.38 directory
and associated files.
- Update lang/Makefile to drop the perl5.38 subdir entry now that the
port is removed.

Build:
- Add a MOVED entry to redirect users from lang/perl5.38 to supported
Perl versions (lang/perl5.40 or lang/perl5.42).
