I read that you asked same earlier, but nobody answered yet.

If it is not a module, just install the script to ${PREFIX}/bin/.

If the script uses perl 5, then use:
USE_PERL5=	YES

Also, be sure that the path to perl is correct, like:

REPLACE_INTERPRETER+=   perl
_REPLACE.perl.old=      .*/bin/perl
_REPLACE.perl.new=      ${PERL5}
_REPLACE_FILES.perl=    name1.pl

As for configurations, install the configuration to
${PREFIX}/share/examples/${PKGBASE}/

and use:

USE_PKGINSTALL=	YES
CONF_FILES=	${PREFIX}/share/examples/${PKGBASE}/name2.conf ${PKG_SYSCONFDIR}/name2.conf
