Don't do that. Package versions might contain special options, extensions
and bug fixes.

That unnecessary perl would have had at least two fixes which you missed
now. It would be wiser to remove that self made perl installation and
use the package version. If you have programs using "/usr/local/bin/perl"
create a link pointing to "/usr/pkg/bin/perl".
