Glad you got things working.  My original suggestion would have been more 
thorough if I acknowledged that you may have to rebuild a buncha 
perl-dependent ports.  :-)

Joe random perl script ought not to care whether it's using the system base 
perl or a newer one from ports; Perl ports which depend on a specific version 
of Perl to work ought to register a dependency upon that version of perl.
