New description:

 I attempted '`sudo port install gimp`'

 First failure was:
 {{{
 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell
 command failed (see log for details)
 Error: Failed to install cairo
 }}}

 I ran '`sudo port install cairo`'

 A lot of stuff got installed.

 I re-ran '`sudo port install gimp`'

 Second failure was:
 {{{
 --->  Configuring gnome-doc-utils
 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell
 command failed (see log for details)
 Error: Failed to install gnome-doc-utils
 }}}

 I ran '`sudo port install gnome-doc-utils`'

 Error persisted:
 {{{
 --->  Configuring gnome-doc-utils
 Error: Target org.macports.configure returned: configure failure: shell
 command failed (see log for details)
 Log for gnome-doc-utils is at:
 /opt/local/var/macports/logs/_opt_local_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports
 .org_release_ports_gnome_gnome-doc-utils/gnome-doc-utils/main.log
 Error: Status 1 encountered during processing.
 To report a bug, see <http://guide.macports.org/#project.tickets>
 }}}

 Tail of log file is:
 {{{
 :info:configure checking for perl... /opt/local/bin/perl
 :info:configure checking for perl >= 5.8.1... configure: error: perl 5.8.1

 Please remember to use WikiFormatting and to preview before submitting.

 What version of perl is /opt/local/bin/perl? Or is this possibly a
 duplicate of #28565?
