I am trying to install perl5.12 but installer complains port a2p is being
used by perl5.8. Problem is, I do not have port a2p installed (and I do
not believe such port exists). I therefore cannot deactivate it and
complete the perl5.12 installation.

Comment:
It's not claiming you have an a2p port installed. It's claiming you have a
perl5.8 port installed, which you need to deactivate in order to be able
to install perl5.12.
{{{
sudo port deactivate perl5.8
}}}
