I dug a little and think have figured the problem but not positive.  I think 
your running perl configure from the original perl and not the one from 
ports.

Assuming you use csh as your shell try in .cshrc to change the order of the 
path staement so it looks at /usr /local directories first.

from:

set path = 
(/sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /usr/X11R6/bin 
$HOME/bin /home/mike/SCRIPTS /root/bin )

to

set path = 
( /usr/local/sbin /usr/local/bin /sbin /bin /usr/sbin /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/X11R6/bin 
$HOME/bin /home/mike/SCRIPTS /root/bin )
