Confuses me too. There's nothing special about the p5-perl-tidy port to account for this, and the perl5 1.0 portgroup hasn't been changed since January. "sudo port selfupdate" and try again?

Also, uninstall p5-perl-tidy (and any other p5-* stub port you may have installed) and just install the p5.16-* version (or whichever perl version you want).

Note that the command you want is "port installed", not "port list", which does not provide the same information; see https://trac.macports.org/wiki/FAQ#portlist
