 Please backup that file just in case, then delete it and run
 {{{
 sudo port clean perl5.22
 sudo port install perl5.22
 }}}

 I assume that would work.

 Are you able to figure out where this file came from (possibly with help
 of the timestamp of the file)? In any case, unless the file has been
 installed by MacPorts, having it there is considered a "bug" on your
 machine or a "bug" in the software that installed that file to that
 location, not a bug in MacPorts.

 Sometimes "badly designed" software packages put files under `/opt/local`,
 but those cases should be reported as problems to distributors of such
 packages.

 One could also argue that Perl should not use `libcrypt` on Mac at all (I
 don't know what that library does, so please don't take my words for
 granted). Honestly I don't know why the configure script first figures out
 that it should be ok to use that flag and later fails to build. But this
 is something that you should discuss with upstream Perl developers rather
 than with MacPorts packagers.

 > I do have +universal flag as default since I still have some alive older
 macs.

 That should not be relevant in any way.
