Aargh, I had this happen to me on two boxes in the past week so the
scars are still fresh enough for me to remember it all.
What worked for me [tm] was to invoke portinstall -r perl58 and let it
fix everything. That worked when a simple "make [re]install" wouldn't.
(the r argument is valuable:
-r, --recursive Do with all those depending on the given
packages
as well
)
My advice, worth every penny you pay for it, is to leave the extra
directories alone (disk space is cheap). The side-effects are too hard
to predict or rectify, in my experience.
