If you need to install perl modules or other software that MacPorts doesn't provide, you could create Portfiles for them and submit them to us via the issue tracker, or at least file port request tickets and eventually someone might create them.

I always use the CPAN shell. These modules that I erased by mistake I
think are pragmatic and/or standard distribution ones with the Perl
port. As I mentioned earlier I just wanted to cleanup the older Perl
installs. At the time I was unaware of the "uninstall inactive"
subcommand and I was cleaning up the old Perl modules by hand and I
thought I was erasing my CPAN installed ones.

It seems to have gotten fixed with all the suggestions above but I
can't say for sure what fixed it.
