OK. That should help but now it seems to have gotten fixed after I
upgraded all my ports. If it comes up again I will post how I get it
fixed.

I still don't understand very well how MacPorts layers the older
versions of stuff. In other words, all this happened when I upgraded
Perl. I work with Catalyst so I had tons of CPAN modules I had to
re-install on the new Perl and just wanted to delete the old ones but
the old Perl was still installed (yet not active). I accidentally
deleted some CPAN modules of that older version of Perl that was still
installed, and that's when all hell broke loose. I tried removing the
older version of Perl but it didn't help either. Now it seems to have
fixed itself.

Thanks again,
