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...
