In the future, please fill in the Port field.

The log is very vague and doesn't really tell us why it failed; it just says Failed to build p5.26-http-daemon. If you sudo port clean p5.26-http-daemon and then try again, you should receive the binary which is now available from our server and thus bypass whatever the build problem was. However, since we don't know what the build problem was, you might encounter it again with this or another port in the future.

The log also shows a couple dozen failures pinging some servers, like Spawning ping for mirrors.namecheap.com failed. This should not have failed. This failure will not prevent you from building ports, but it could cause MacPorts to download files from a server that is slower than the fastest server that would be available to you, so it is in your interest to figure out why this failed and fix it.
