Comment (by cwest@…):

 I had this same issue but I don't think it's a problem with wget per se.

 I have the latest perl5.22 (perl5.22.1) installed and the binary is
 /opt/local/bin/perl5.22.1. I created a perl5.22 -> perl5.22.1 symlink in
 /opt/local/bin/ to get around this and wget 1.17.1 now activates without
 any errors.

 Hopefully someone will find this useful.
