This makes me think /opt/local/bin/perl is not a symlink to perl5.16 as it should be, but is actually an old copy of perl somehow. Is that possible? In other words, could you have at some point copied /opt/local/bin/perl5.16 to /opt/local/bin/perl for some reason? Let's check if that's the case by running:

ls -ld /opt/local/bin/perl*

And also:

port provides /opt/local/bin/perl
