The moveabletype scripts all unfortunately have #!/usr/bin/perl at the  
top, so they run the system perl instead of the macports perl.

You can either change them all to #!/opt/local/bin/perl (or whatever  
your macports ${prefix} is set to) or #!/usr/bin/env perl (and then  
set up the script environment so that the macports perl is first in  
the path search).
