How do I replace system perl with MacPorts perl?

Hi:

This ought to be straight forward - well, maybe it is:

I have installed macports and perl5.8 into /usr/local/bin, while the 
system perl remains in /usr/bin - most manuals and scripts expect to 
find perl in /usr/bin so they continue to use the system perl, and 
further this has different @INC so the modules installed with macports 
are not found.

What is the recommended way of replacing the system perl (leopard) with 
the perl of macports?

Thanks, Erik
