if that's the only reason, why not install perl from the ports in
/usr/ports/lang/perl5 (v5.6; there is also v5.8 in
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8)?
after installing ports tree -- see the freebsd handbook for details
somewhere on freebsd.org website -- all you would have to do is
type...
# cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5
# { make && make test && make install } 2>&1 | tee log
...after that you may want to run files/use.perl, that will be
mentioned at the end of the install, to create/fix symlinks to newer
version.
refer to -questions & -stable lists archives for issues related to
perl from ports & perl from freebsd os.
