Hmmm.  Are you sure you are running 5.3RC1?

AFAIK, perl5 isn't used in any part of the build these days, since
it's not part of the base system.  In fact, a recent buildworld and
buildkernel cycle for which I have a logfile contains no perl
invocations.

The latest should be fine.  Ports that need an older perl version will
take care of this behind the scenes.
