The reason that perl5.40 can't be found as a dependency when installing 
perl5 +perl5_40 is that it isn't in the index yet. You can run portindex 
in your ports tree to change that, see 
<https://guide.macports.org/#development.local-repositories>.

A sync or selfupdate will also run portindex, but be careful with that 
if you are editing Portfiles in a tree synced using the default rsync 
method, as syncing will wipe out your local changes. This is why using a 
separate local tree is recommended for anything requiring more permanence.
