See the *last* post by marxcism in the following thread, try downloading the same Perl 5.8.6 he did. He finally found the 5.8.6 which installed properly and fixed his installer problem

This works:
Type:
pkg_info <enter>
make note of perl version installed and delete it by typing:
pkg_delete perl-x.x.x

Then add by typing:
pkg_add -r perl-5.8.7

If it can't find it, you can download it here:
http://ftp3.ie.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages/perl5/

Then type:
pkg_add perl-5.8.7

I had freebsd 5.3 and it had perl 5.8.5 install on it so i pkg_delete perl 5.8.5 and try to add pack 5.8.7 to my server

now when I execute the command
perl -v

I get this

WebSerVer# perl -v
/usr/bin/perl: Exec format error. Binary file not executable.

I am trying to put plesk on and for some reason I am having troubles perl cant seem to get it to work
