Comment:

 help2man installs `/opt/local/bin/help2man`, which begins with
 {{{
 #!/opt/local/bin/perl -w
 }}}

 ...so it's using whatever version of perl is selected by the perl5 port.
 If it's trying to force perl5.12, it needs to fix that path too.

 (I suspect this is not the only port with this problem. Right now, I don't
 have much confidence that anything will work correctly if perl5 is
 installed with +perl5_14 or anything other than +perl5_12... *sigh*)
