That's not enough information to know what went wrong. We need to see the full debug output. Please clean again and install again with the debug switch. If you do it this way...

sudo port clean p5-locale-gettext
sudo port -d install p5-locale-gettext 2>&1 | tee ~/Desktop/p5-locale-gettext.txt

...the entire output will be written to the file p5-locale-gettext.txt on your desktop which you can attach to your reply email.

Assuming you have installed the perl5.10 port, you would

sudo port deactivate perl5.10
sudo port install perl5.8

This would only be the case if you deliberately installed the perl5.10 port; otherwise you would already have the perl5.8 port.
