It should have replaced @PERL5@ with the real perl5 path; try doing it manually. I'd guess that there maybe other places in the package it failed, though.

The first line in the script is:
#!@PERL5@ -w
which is added to the script by the patch-aa file in the pkgsrc version of ddclient. The first couple of lines of the patch file are:
@@ -1,3 +1,2 @@
-#!/usr/bin/perl -w
-#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
+#!@PERL5@ -w
Unfortunately I know nothing about perl so I have no idea why this is being used rather than something like #!/usr/pkg/bin/perl.
