Should /opt/local/bin/perl be deleted too ?

I'd say that you probably need to recompile every module (well, those
that don't contain just Perl code) against 5.10. BTW, that may be a
reason to have a single Perl port installed (activated). Otherwise
the risk of using some module with a different Perl version for which
it has been built would be too high IMHO.

I don't know what you try to mean exactly, but Digest-SHA1 2.11 is
compatible with Perl 5.10 as you can see:
