The + there is not optional; it tells the perl5 port to install the variant
(see "port variants perl5") named "perl5.14", which sets that to be the
default Perl.

What you did told it to reinstall perl5 (which woul be a no-op as it's
already installed) and then install a specific version and variant of the
perl5.14 port.  This is not going to do what you intended.
