Updating Perl

Hi,

After spending a considerable amount of time trying to get  
get_iplayer to work
with my MacPorts installed Perl 5.8.8, I have come to the conclusion  
that perhaps
I should upgrade my Perl to 5.10.1.

I have tried to uninstall 5.8.8 but it has a number of dependencies:
p5-locale-gettext, help2man, autoconf, automake, and faad2.

Is there an easier way to upgrade Perl or do I have to remove these  
programs
which no doubt also have other dependencies.

Thanks,

Terrence
