That's what you did with 'use.perl port', and you can check that it appended a
couple of lines about the perl version to use to /etc/make.conf. From now on
make will use the port version when installing perl stuff, and perl scripts
will too.
Although ports that had been installed before might need to be rebuilt indeed,
or have at least their dependencies fixed.

For best results you should keep different questions on different e-mails with
relevant subjects.

You can have a look at rsync from the ports, it's easy to use for snapshot
backups. A good tutorial on using it for this very purpose is located at :
http://www.mikerubel.org/computers/rsync_snapshots/
IIRC, it even explains how this can be used in conjunction with samba to
backup windows stuff.
Hope this helps.
