Thanks, Adam. I did have several executables in /usr/bin, but deleting
them did not help.

According to locate, I have the following perl items left in places
other than /var/, /usr/local/, and ports, all of which
I believe to be appropriate:
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/5.00503
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/5.00503/man
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/5.00503/man/man3
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/site_perl
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/alpha-freebsd
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/alpha-freebsd/auto
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/auto
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd
/usr/X11R6/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-freebsd/auto
/usr/X11R6/lib/xchat/plugins/perl.so
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/gtksourceview-1.0/language-specs/perl.lang
/usr/X11R6/share/gnome/idl/at-spi-1.0/Accessibility_Hyperlink.idl
/usr/X11R6/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrint/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-text-x-perl.png
/usr/X11R6/share/icons/HighContrastLargePrintInverse/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-text-x-perl.png
/usr/X11R6/share/icons/LowContrastLargePrint/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-text-x-perl.png
/usr/X11R6/share/icons/gnome/48x48/mimetypes/gnome-mime-text-x-perl.png
/usr/bin/perl (symlink to /usr/local/perl)
/usr/bin/perl5.6.1 (symlink to /usr/local/perl)
/usr/bin/suidperl (symlink to /usr/local/suidperl)

I still have the same problems. Could something already built before the
cleanup be biting me? I did a portinstall -Rf p5-XML-Parser, which
rebuilt libtool, expat, and perl. No improvement! 

All of the files seem to be identical (Expat.xs, proto.h, and
perl.h). The compiler is also the same (gcc version 3.3.3 [FreeBSD]
20031106). I guess I'm getting really baffled, here. Any ideas on what I
should look at?
