This error hit me recently.  The fix you need is most likely in -current 
in /usr/libdata/perl5/OpenBSD/LibSpec/Build.pm.  My previous thread 
about this issue (final msg, anyway):

	http://marc.info/?l=openbsd-ports&m=129169328317934&w=1

I've used that updated Build.pm on 4.8 with no issues so far, but a 
better solution might be to check out the ports tree tagged at 
OPENBSD_4_8, unless you specifically need something from HEAD.

Also, if you are interested in doing other things with your system than 
compiling ports, you might want to just install the packages.  Set 
PKG_PATH and use pkg_add(1).  Way faster for people who need to get to 
work doing other things.
