Even worse.  So you have a perl manager and a ruby manager installed and
battling it out with each other, but choose to blame MacPorts.  In any case
I'm not sure you even need MacPorts since you've taken it on yourself to
maintain your own perl and ruby installs anyway.

Do you understand that things like perlbrew and rvm are specifically
designed to modify your environment in exactly the way you are seeing?
 That it is their function?  Why is the fact that they are doing so, and
apparently (and not too surprisingly) interfering with each other in the
process, MacPorts' fault?
