Login to your FreeBSD system.  Since you installed the ports
collection, it's this easy:

 cd /usr/ports/lang/perl5
 su
 make install clean

If you didn't install the ports collection, you're a naughty boy.  Go
install the ports collection.

Then you'll find that /usr/local/bin/perl is in place and when you
type perl -v, you'll get some sort of useful message like

 This is perl, version 5..q45123050238501497501958 ...

Hope that helps.
