This is the actual problem. http://trac.macports.org/ticket/36438

Something is wrong then. Maybe your universal libstdcxx is not actually activated, or perhaps you need to clean perl5.12 before trying again.

As I've posted several times to this mailing list (and at http://trac.macports.org/ticket/38858#comment:3) in the past couple of days, the workaround is to force-deactivate libstdcxx for the duration of the upgrade.

    % sudo port clean perl5.12
    % sudo port -f deactivate libstdcxx
    % sudo port upgrade perl5.12
    % sudo port activate libstdcxx
