I also had need of Perl 5.6.1 and my solution was to install the new Perl
manually (ie; get the source and compile it yourself, rather than using
the Ports Perl install), and when prompted, insert a custom path.  For
example, I used /usr/local/perl/* for everything.  That way, all the
system stuff still uses the old /usr/bin/perl, but I can make my scripts
use /usr/local/perl/bin/perl, which might be ugly, but at least everything
plays nice...
