When similar error messages are reported, you have to force the activation of the conflicting Perl port.

In this case:

sudo port -f activate p5-test-simple

[gui-dos (Guido Soranzio)]

From p5-test-simple's Portfile:

post-destroot {

ui_msg "You must install or activate this package with '-f' (force) as it needs to overwrite files installed by the perl5.8 port"

}
