Comment (by ryandesign):

 The SDK version shouldn't matter. When I searched for this error, it
 seemed like people were experiencing it because the major version of perl
 had changed, but that should be impossible in MacPorts since each major
 version of perl uses its own set of directories and subports.

 There is an upstream bug https://github.com/Perl/perl5/issues/15861 about
 this error message and its vagueness. I haven't read the many comments on
 that issue; maybe they have more suggestions.
