Use ${PERL} instead of ${PERL5}

Some of the ports use ${PERL5}, where ${PERL} is sufficient -- and safer. The
former can mean something like /usr/local/bin/perl5.22.1, whereas the latter is
simply /usr/local/bin/perl.

In particular, when PERL5 points to a NON-EXISTENT executable (as just happened
on my system), the ports break. The proposed patch covers only the ports, where
${PERL5} is part of CONFIGURE_ARGS -- there are, likely, to be other ports
affected by the same misunderstanding.
