New description:

 I tried the following:

 {{{
 sh-2.05b# port uninstall perl5.8 5.8.7_0
 --->  The following versons of perl5.8 are currently installed:
 --->    perl5.8 5.8.7_0 (active)
 --->    perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please
 specify the full version as recorded in the port registry.
 sh-2.05b# port uninstall perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8
 --->  The following versons of perl5.8 are currently installed:
 --->    perl5.8 5.8.7_0 (active)
 --->    perl5.8 5.8.8_0+darwin_8
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please
 specify the full version as recorded in the port registry.
 sh-2.05b#
 }}}

 It did not occur to me to use the syntax for versions that one sees in the
 "port installed" output.

 This should have said:

 {{{
 sh-2.05b# port uninstall perl5.8
 --->  The following versons of perl5.8 are currently installed:
 --->    perl5.8 @5.8.7_0 (active)
 --->    perl5.8 @5.8.8_0+darwin_8
 Error: /opt/local/bin/port: port uninstall failed: Registry error: Please
 specify the full version as recorded in the port registry.
 sh-2.05b#
 }}}

 Then it would have been clear what was needed.
