use.perl port is probably what you need, but otherwise, you may want to 
delete config.cache and repeat the configuration phase.

BTW, do you mean 'Nagios' or 'Nagios plugins'.

I don't think Nagios requires anything to do with SNMP let alone the 
Perl module Net::SNMP.

Lastly, FreeBSD has Perl 5.005_03 built in (and has since about RELENG 
3) so you should never need to install Perl unless, as may be the case 
here, you need a module that requires Perl > 5.6.

If you do install a new Perl remember that you _must_ do something about 
the Perl modules to make them available to the new Perl ... (I thought a 
procedure for reinstalling the p5 ports was described in the port 
directory but I can't find it now. I reinstalled manually after the 
screams ...; the XS modules [C code] must be recompiled with the new 
Perl)
