In fact, the p5-podlators port will try and overwrite some files claimed by the perl-5.8.5 port. There's no point in installing both. Just deinstall the p5-podlators port, and re-install perl-5.8.5 and all will be well. Even if you subsequently go and install a port with an explicit dependency on p5-podlators, the ports system will detect that the module is available even though it was installed as part of a different port. Other than occasionally having to run 'pkgdb -F' there won't be any downside.
