I misspoke. I do understand that users and groups may be left as well  
as startup/launchd items.
That said, I see this being part of my problem.

Everything is as you state. I didn't alter prefix in my previous  
install nor my new install.

I just uninstalled everything using "port uninstall installed".
Removed "/opt" and "/Libraray/LaunchDaemons/org.macports*" and  
reinstalled macports.

	port -v install perl5

ends with this

If someone can shed some light I would be very grateful.

Thank you for the reply,
