ASSP port testing, not getting all perl mods to work

I am telling ASSP where the new perl is, this issue is that some  
modules, only three of 15 or more, are being looked for in the wrong  
spot.

I do not know if I should solve this in the port, by editing the  
source of the app, or if there is some other way.  I actually hope  
there is some other way, as there should be no reason why I need to  
modify the source other than to change the perl path at the top of a  
few files.
