May I then suggest that if version 5.8 is desired, then have ghc use ${prefix}/bin/perl5.8.
If #16830 goes to plan, this should remain even after the transition to perl5 is complete.
See the new attached Portfile.

I'll apply the changes to have ghc use ${prefix}/bin/perl5.8.

I will look at this, but I'm not sure if it is the right fix. The reason is that perl is used in an assembly to assembly transformation in which white space is critical. Any change, even a minor one, will break ghc.
In the short term, I could make ghc depend on a perl binary (call it ghc-perl) that didn't have a name clash with a perl installed by another port.
