I have that in /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/vars.pm.

What does "find /usr/local/lib -type f -name 'vars.pm'" show?  Better
yet tell us the output of ...

  perl -Mstrict -w \
    -e \
    ' use vars q/$polka/;
      $polka  = q/dot/;
    '

...which should be whole lot of nothing.

Wow, you have three versions of perl installed; now have installed,
rather, trying to install 5.8.2 -- as it is missing from above @INC --
*seemingly* under the same parent directory.  You are one brave
fellow!

If you do not need old files, why not deinstall old ports  nd/or clear
directories, deinstall 5.8.2, & recompile?  Then again problem could
itself be w/ the speedyCGI port.


For comparison, i have only Perl 5.8.2 installed & @INC is...

  # perl -e '$, = qq/\n/; print @INC'
  /usr2/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2/mach
  /usr2/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.2
  /usr2/local/lib/perl5/site_perl
  /usr2/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/BSDPAN
  /usr2/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2/mach
  /usr2/local/lib/perl5/5.8.2
  .
