Description
After an entirely fresh install of MacPorts on Lion 10.7.3 and Xcode 4.3, I get the error
:info:build /bin/sh: /opt/local/bin/help2man: /opt/local/bin/perl: bad interpreter: No such file
Fixed by adding a symlink in /opt/local/bin/
sudo ln -s perl5.12.3 perl

That's likely all that's required.
I had installed autoconf, which pulls in perl5 in the form of perl5 @5.12.3, Revision 1 (lang). It does not create a symlink to /opt/local/bin/perl.
help2man seems to depend on a slightly different, perl5.12, perl5.12 @5.12.3_3. This version insists on creating a symlink to /opt/local/bin/perl.
Somehow installing mp4v2, which depends on help2man, didn't quite handle this. help2man seems to have seen that perl5 @5.12.3 rev 1 was installed, but expected it to have a /opt/local/bin/perl.

Adjusted help2man port to depend on perl5 rather than perl5.12 (r90139), this should resolve this issue. Please reopen if it did not.
Did you install the perl5 port? It provides /opt/local/bin/perl, and ports that need perl should depend on the perl5 port.
