The hardlink-counter is 3, so it seems obvious that those
are really exactly the same file (not just the same content).
"ls -li" will confirm that:
zsh$ ls -li /usr/bin/perl{,5*}
31854 -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 10168 Nov 8 2003 /usr/bin/perl
31854 -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 10168 Nov 8 2003 /usr/bin/perl5
31854 -r-xr-xr-x 3 root wheel 10168 Nov 8 2003 /usr/bin/perl5.00503
The inode numbers are the same, so it's really just one
file with three different names.
Another way to verify if files are the same (or have the
same content) is to compare their MD5 checksums:
zsh$ md5 -r /usr/bin/perl{,5*}
70b804a95b2f337a8cbda860be1b041a /usr/bin/perl
70b804a95b2f337a8cbda860be1b041a /usr/bin/perl5
70b804a95b2f337a8cbda860be1b041a /usr/bin/perl5.00503
As far as your actual perl problem is concerned, I'm afraid
I can't help.

I'm not a perl guru, but have you tried using a newer perl5
from the ports collection? Does it fail with the same error
message, or does it fail differently?
