Perl doesn't currently use the port select mechanism; there are at the
moment too many corner cases to deal with. To select the default perl, you
need to change the variant of the perl5 port:

    sudo port upgrade --enforce-variants perl5 -perl5_18 +perl5_16

This should not disrupt ports using a different perl version, since the
other versions will still be installed afterward.
