It doesn't. But one of the shortcomings of the "port select" mechanism in
general is that there are circumstances where it leaves dangling symlinks
around; the variants-based mechanism used by the perl ports can't normally
do this, unless you've been playing games with --force or manually removing
stuff. So I'm confused as to how you managed to have an invalid
/opt/local/bin/perl.
