With the removal of perl from the base-system, they put something in place to make sure that the installed version from the ports collection would be a drop-in replacement and that no functionality would be removed. It all worked like a charm. Be pragmatic, a little bit pollution (a handfull of symlinks only, not even real files) gives you the flexibility to run whatever Perl version you want. Please don't break it now.
