FWIW, my little rant was all over nothing. I just installed 5.8 from FBSD ports and then everything worked fine, including SA. Interestingly, it looks like SA looks for 5.8 first when launching, because I kept 5.005 under /usr/bin, and put 5.8 under /usr/local/bin (I did not run the "use.perl port" script) and /usr/bin is in front of /usr/local/bin in the path. I may try switching with that script later to see if anything else breaks...
