You might see this as a issue because you did not request perl to be installed, but it was pulled in a dependency. Like any other binary installed with MacPorts, it takes precedence as /opt/local/bin comes first in the environment variable PATH. As a workaround you could create ~/bin, put it in front of PATH and symlink whatever 'perl' you want. While a shell alias seems simpler at first, it would miss invocation from scripts with '#!/usr/bin/env perl'.
